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.
