For GUI work, I'll probably continue to work with GtkAda. But having said that, if I wanted a Windows only product (or a native-feel one) in Ada, I would definitely choose GWindows for ease-of-use, and its ability to use COM/Active-X objects with GNATCOM. I haven't tried the database aware widget support, but that is another factor that is important to me. Just my $0.02. -- Warren W. Gay VE3WWG http://home.cogeco.ca/~ve3wwg
