I suggest you if you intend to harvest the full potential  of a specific platform you definitely have to movewith its NATIVE API. Windows API is only for Windowsand not for Linux flavors ,Unix flavors(like Mac, freeBSD) so you have tothink twice in that case but if you really into Windows ProgrammingI suggest you select API or MFC or QT or Wxwidget. now let's see some advantages and disadvantages of each library. API is really suitable but you have to make lot of codes. as an example if you really want to develop a simple application then probably it might take 50 to 60 lines.but don't worry. and WINAPI is not natively built for c++ it's entirely written for C language but still it's possible for using with any langaugeeven with Java. WIN API is NOT just GUI that can be used with formany purposes even GUI, networking, com, etc.......the advantage is WINAPI is totally free so no need to pay for microsoft heavily I think that's quite benefit compare with QT and MFC. so please note MFC is not free you have to buy that with Visual Studio.then you can get it but need to pay Microsoft when you are going to sellsoftware developed with MFC. really suitable if you want to deal with messy codes much easily. in fact this was built targeted for C++language. but there are plenty of disadvantages those are MFC is really weak for developing applications not even optimized properly. so you would seesome bugs. in these days Microsoft heavily invests on C# so probablythen forgot it intentionally. so we got again QT which is a nice library for developing GUI applicationsbut still you can't perform many functions available for native API.I strongly suggest you select QT for developing GUI and use some native function when it's necessary. that means don't move on entirelywith WinAPI or QT or MFC. use QT for developing GUI apps. and use MFCfor user interfaces and some functions but when those are not available with that libraries move on with WINAPI I suggest you this book.<img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-S9E7l7LcC5g/TXWyF17OPjI/AAAAAAAABMw/nbBbjIcAAvM/s1600/pw5.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><a href="http://www.ziddu.com/download/14090904/Petzoldi.chm.html" target="_blank">http://www.ziddu.com/download/14090904/Petzoldi.chm.html</a></blockquote>
