      http://www.charlespetzold.com/pw5/[^] Don't know if there are better ones these days, but this one book should be on every Win32 programmer's desk.

      Watched code never compiles.

        You will need to google this, Windows Development it's on MSDN. The book alone won't help much, but MSDN with Windows Development topic should put you in the right path. You need to focus on which Windows version you want to target! Windows XP / GDI Windows Vista / Direct2D (update) Windows 7 / Direct2D Focus on CreateWindow function and Common Controls! ;) And Visual Styles...

          not really. AFAIK, basic Win32 should work for all versions of Windows.

          not necessary IMO.

              Visual Styles if he wants his apps to like shiny from Windows XP and later. Windows 7 -New UI changes -Location Services -Direct 2D ... I believe these are more targeted towards Windows 7.
