Im currently using Ruby Tk as a platform construction various GUI. I  
must say it is working perfectly. I am however wondering if there by any  
chance would be possible to call the WIN32OLE and use windows own  
classes for this purpose. I know it should be possible but I have no  
idea what im am supposed to look for.

Have a look at [vruby](http://raa.ruby-lang.org/project/vruby)  
I haven’t used it but it looks to be a nice wrapper of the Win32 UI.
