I am interested in developing Windows GUI programs with typical elements such as drop down lists, radio buttons, text areas and text fields.  Is that possible with Larceny?  Are there any tips on how to proceed?

Working with Common Larceny and the C#/.Net infrastructure is the most straightforward way to go. Larceny has to provide the driving framework as access to Larceny data structures from within the .NET world is difficult (although the conjugate is pretty straightforward)..

You could also develop in native mode, but that is a little tricky too because you can really only use _cdecl function pointers if you want to call back into Larceny. This is only a minor problem if you are willing to write trampolines for all of the WINAPI call-backs needed for a Windows app.
