I believe there is some sample code in GWindows for placing an ActiveX control on a GtkAda window. That technique and better ones exist for GtkAda integration with GWindows. A Rapid like approach that uses GtkAda for Linux and GWindows for Windows on its backend would be the better approach to acheive your goals. GtkAda could in theory become the Rapid like approach itself as well if it could shift a bit away from Gtk on Windows.
