If you want to write Windows applications, you will have to learn how to structure Windows programs accordingly. The best way to do this is the classic book by Charles Petzold, Programming Windows, Microsoft Press. Everyone who knows me a bit longer knows that I dislike the thought of giving one single cent of my money to this company, but for this book there's no substitute. It will explain all the basics (and I mean ALL) of programming using the Win32 API; and as Petzold mentions in his book: you can more easily learn Visual Basic or you can deal with MFC or whatever; but as soon as you got stuck with some lower-level problem you need a rock solid understanding of the Win32 basics, and this book what you will need to read. There are online tutorials available, but I doubt that any of them (even fifty together) will cover the basics of Win32 programming as thoroughly as Petzold's book.
