No, it is not standard Ada. BTW, all standard libraries are described in 
Ada Reference Manual:

    http://www.ada-auth.org/standards/12rm/html/RM-TOC.html

P.S. You could use a less outlandish GUI library with Ada. There are 
Gtk, Qt, Win32Ada bindings as well as frameworks on top of Windows API, 
GWindows, Claw and also a Web-based GUI framework gnoga.
