If you really need a task safe GUI, you should look into Claw. Claw
provides a task-safe object-oriented Ada interface to Windows, if you
used it, you wouldn't need any C at all. And its a lot easier to use
than writing raw Win32 (in any language). You can look at the
Introductory version at www.rrsoftware.com/htmp/prodinf/claw.htm.
