      A tutorial? A really don't know. But there are many things to understand. First, if you want to draw the window interface yourself but will still use windows from the operating system, simple create a borderless window, and draw everything you need in it. Second, if you want to create a full "window support" yourself, you will need to understand how to create and group regions. But by the type of the question I think you only need the first one.

          Yes... you can even create your own controls that look and behave like the title-bar.
