Are you sure that you want callbacks? Could we use Ada tasks and protected types. If necessary, you could expand your XML server. -----Original Message----- From: comp.lang.ada-admin@ada.eu.org [mailto:comp.lang.ada-admin@ada.eu.org]On Behalf Of Emmanuel Briot Sent: Tuesday, July 17, 2001 12:43 AM To: comp.lang.ada@ada.eu.org Subject: Re: An Ada IDE and discussions Ted Dennison writes: > No, you are probably thinking of TK.

I'm in no way a UIL expert, but Gtk has something similar, based on XML. You can dynamically load an interface written in XML. There's even a GUI builder to generate the XML for you. The only potential problem is for callbacks, since you need to actually write them yourself, but then in a compiled language I don't see how it would work. Any idea welcome. Emmanuel
