NNTP-Posting-Date: Mon, 13 Mar 2000 18:14:29 EST Newsgroups: comp.lang.ada Date: 2000-03-13T00:00:00+00:00 List-Id: An easier solution on Win32 is to use COM. Place your code in to an Ada COM object (which takes about 5 minutes to spec in IDL and 2 seconds to generate using CreateCOM) and access the Ada code naturally from VB or create forms in a VB COM object and then take control of the VB forms by binding to them using BindCOM. Creating very functional GUIs for Ada by designing an HTML page (using your favorite HTML editor, mine is notepad) and then using the COM tools to bind to the DHTML model is also a very easy and functional solution. There is also no reason that you can not combine GUI frameworks like GTKAda, CLAW, or Windex by using a (20 line of code) MFC dll to hang the ActiveX GUIs on an HWND (I have done it before).
