Hi, GTK+ is different from Window's internal API, for one GTK+
is C based API.

That shouldn't be an issue, but what would be is the procedural
design of GTK+ is quite different from Window's GUI API.

Java will depend that you can work everything out with the VM's
of every target platform, which I assume in your realm is
Windows and Linux? That might be easier to go Java since
you can have similar code for Windows and Linux.

GTK+ again, is quite different from Windows' native GUI API.
.. but GTK+ is also a heck of a lot easier to code for and is
better documented in my opinion.
