I've always used the wxWidgets library personally, far nicer than working with the Win32 API directly. wxWidgets uses a platforms native API rather than emulating the GUI.

There is a few tutorials on their site here as well. The reference manual is pretty good too if you just want to figure out how to create some control (eg a checkbox) once you have the basics down.

Here is one :)

I made mine with this guide, here is an example (still not finished):

This is only showing push buttons, frames, normal window (panel), unfinished combobox (that's the blank white square saying 0), static text and text box.

Also have listboxes, tabs, scrollbars and some other stuff..

Pretty simple, I recommend the guide.
