You should take the chance to do it all in Ada using one the many
excelent Ada GUI libraries available. If nothing fancy use JEWL.
But... if you really want to use a C GUI library then I would recomend a
bilingual construction. You already have the business logic in Ada.
Leave it there. Don't "rewrite" it: just make a wrapper around it that
exports it to C. Then make you gadgets in C connecting to the business
logic thru this wrapper.
