# 5. Starting an application with GtkAda

You need to perform some initializations to start a GtkAda application:

    --  predefined units of the library
    with Gtk.Rc;
    with Gtk.Main;
    with Gtk.Enums;
    with Gtk.Window;
    ...
    --  My units
    with Callbacks;
    ...
    procedure Application is
       procedure Create_Window is ...

    begin
       --  Set the locale specific datas (e.g time and date format)
       Gtk.Main.Set_Locale;

       --  Initializes GtkAda
       Gtk.Main.Init;

       --  Load the resources. Note that this part is optional.
       Gtk.Rc.Parse ("application.rc");

       --  Create the main window
       Create_Window;

       --  Signal handling loop
       Gtk.Main.Main;
    end Application;

the Create_Window procedure looks like:

    procedure Create_Window is
       Main_Window : Gtk.Window.Gtk_Window;
       ...
    begin
       Gtk.Window.Gtk_New
         (Window   => Main_Window,
          The_Type => Gtk.Enums.Window_Toplevel);

       --  From Gtk.Widget:
       Gtk.Window.Set_Title (Window => Main_Window, Title  => "Editor");

       --  Construct the window and connect various callbacks

       ...
       Gtk.Window.Show_All (Main_Window);
    end Create_Window;
