Re: ActiveX in Ada?

["David Botton" <David@Botton.com>]

The questioner thought (wrongly) that perhaps Aonix Object Ada would be the
only solution since it supports ActiveX...... He just didn't realize the
current support for ActiveX on GNAT is superior.

Actually, GNATCOM - COM/DCOM/ActiveX/COM+/MTS/OLE2/OLE Automation support
for Ada - allows full use and creation of all the above buz words and much
more :-) If you use GWindows with GNATCOM you get the best support for
Graphical ActiveX use and development available....

In fact I created a GUI ActiveX control over year and half ago just using
GNATCOM. I decided to write GWindows in a large part to fill out areas of
ActiveX control programming (there is still are many great things to come in
that area as the GNavi - the Open Source Delphi/VB alternative - project is
starting to move forward)

Currently GNATCOM and GWindows are only on GNAT, but there is no technical
reason at this point to my knowledge that it could not be ported to any
other compiler.
