Charles Petzold's book..  Buy it no matter what.

If you have ObjectWindows get Lorne Heiny's "Windows Graphics Progamming
with Borland C++" and read the ObjectWindows manual.  Together they will
get you started.  Petzold will help later.

If you're really a hacker you can try "Undocumented Windows"...
