Platform SDK is another standard. You can download 250MB from MSDN or get the CD for like $5.00.
Book: the BEST, hands down, is any of the
'Programming Windows 95' books, by Charles Petzold. His texts are considered definitive in the area.
This is NOT MFC.
thanks for the reply, would i be better off using this SDK than MFC?
Well, yes.
Basically, the SDK way involves actually calling the functions from kernel32.dll and user32.dll, as opposed to using MFC classes which call them for you.
There are lots of threads about getting started with them, a search for CreateWindow will help you enormously :)
