Hi Alexander,

> Do you develop direct bindings of wxWindows to OCaml, or develop the 
application layer you need directly in VC++ and call it from OCaml?

If I had some experience with developing direct bindings the way they did with 
WxPython (for example), I might attempt to do something similar with OCaml.  I 
am not very happy with Tcl/Tk and I couldn't even get that working with OCaml 
anyway.

I have a more modest solution, however: to write the whole front end in VC++ 
using wxWindows, and call my OCaml code from that front end.  I am not 
especially interested in handling GUI events from OCaml anyway.  But if it were 
not too hard to create something like a wxOCaml, I would use it for sure.  Of 
course, one hurdle would be to get the interface to C/C++ working, which is 
what camlidl seems to be good for.

Ok, at least the word is pronounced. Indeed, wxPython is the most advanced set of
third language bindings to wxWindows, and may be used at least as a reference.
