Hi,
if you want to stay with Win32 then you could look for theForger's Win32 
API tutorial here:
http://www.winprog.org/tutorial/

There you can not only get a Win32 tutorial, but also some examples (afaik).

Here a short Win32 example:

#include <windows.h>
const char g_szClassName[] = "myWindowClass";

// Step 4: the Window Procedure
LRESULT CALLBACK WndProc(HWND hwnd, UINT msg, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)
{
   switch(msg)
   {
       case WM_CLOSE:
           DestroyWindow(hwnd);
       break;
       case WM_DESTROY:
           PostQuitMessage(0);
       break;
       default:
           return DefWindowProc(hwnd, msg, wParam, lParam);
       break;  //without this break the Avira AntiVirus program will go off
   }
   return 0;
}

int WINAPI WinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance, HINSTANCE hPrevInstance, LPSTR 
lpCmdLine, int nCmdShow)
{
   WNDCLASSEX wc;
   HWND hwnd;
   MSG Msg;
  
   //Step 1: Registering the Window Class
   wc.cbSize = sizeof(WNDCLASSEX);
   wc.style = 0;
   wc.lpfnWndProc = WndProc;
   wc.cbClsExtra = 0;
   wc.cbWndExtra = 0;
   wc.hInstance = hInstance;
   wc.hIcon = LoadIcon(NULL, IDI_APPLICATION);
   wc.hCursor = LoadCursor(NULL, IDC_ARROW);
   wc.hbrBackground = (HBRUSH)(COLOR_WINDOW+1);
   wc.lpszMenuName = NULL;
   wc.lpszClassName = g_szClassName;
   wc.hIconSm = LoadIcon(NULL, IDI_APPLICATION);
  
   if(!RegisterClassEx(&wc))
   {
       MessageBox(NULL, "Window Registration Failed!", "Error!", 
MB_ICONEXCLAMATION | MB_OK);
       return 0;
   }

   // Step 2: Creating the Window
   hwnd = CreateWindowEx(WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE,
       g_szClassName,
       "The title of my window",
       WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW,
       CW_USEDEFAULT, CW_USEDEFAULT, 240, 120,
       NULL, NULL, hInstance, NULL);
      
   if(hwnd == NULL)
   {
       MessageBox(NULL, "Window Creation Failed!", "Error!",
       MB_ICONEXCLAMATION | MB_OK);
       return 0;
   }

   ShowWindow(hwnd, nCmdShow);
   UpdateWindow(hwnd);

   // Step 3: The Message Loop
   while(GetMessage(&Msg, NULL, 0, 0) > 0)
   {
       TranslateMessage(&Msg);
       DispatchMessage(&Msg);
   }

   return Msg.wParam;
}

As you can see it's really simple.

One thing though: if there is a "break" missing after the "default" in 
the "switch" statement then Avira Antivirus will go off and deny acces 
to the generated exe file.  Symantec's  Antivirus  Software will still 
go off and even delete the compiled exe.

Didn't find out why yet.
Suppose the generated code is too similar to some viruses...

Hope this helps
