There are some links here that will point you to tutorials and other
information.

http://people.montana.com/~bowman/Software/winAPI.htm

Charles Petzhold wrote the definitive book on SDK (API) programming, though
Schildt's latest programming Win98 is also good and covers some different
ground.

At first glance, SDK programming looks daunting, but you can develop some
generic boilerplate files to cut and paste, much like the wizards generate.
You might grab the morse trainer from ~/Software/morse.htm . Toss the actual
app, and you will have a shell with a menu, toolbar, status bar, tabbed
dialogs and so forth to use as a template.
