The above sounds like how also Matlab GUIDE works. It is the 'Glade' for
Matlab. A GUI builder I use all the time to make GUI's with with matlab.

It also creates all the callback stubs, and I just go fill in the body
of the callbacks with the specific action. Very convenient, and will not
dream of developing GUI in another way. This way I concentrate on design
and layout of the GUI and let GUIDE do all the handwork. I got so good
at this, I can write one small GUI application in 1-2 days  with Matlab GUI.

For GtkAda, it will be nice if someone may be at wiki Ada or somewhere
can have a link to collection of applications written in GtkAda, where
one can download them and run them.  So far, I know of only 2-3 small apps
written in GTKAda.   Where are all the open source apps written in GTKAda?
