Assuming you want to stick to Ada 95, rather than following JDI's advice
to move to Delphi, the way to proceed is to get hold of the Intermetrics
Win32 bindings. These are very close to the C bindings, so you can get
anyone of many books on these bindings to know what the routines do.
They work with both GNAT and with Object Ada. You might also want to get
the sources of AdaGIDE as an example of how these routines are used.
Martin found it quite convenient to use these bindings in creating
AdaGIDE.
