Yes, it's possible.  Personally, I use the native win32 file 
open/save dialogs in the win32 port of my gtk app, because they are 
familiar to Windows users while the gtk versions are not.  As for 
drawing primitives, I would recommend using gdk functionality.

The win32 api is absolutely horrible to program for; I use it only 
if there is a strong reason.
