C++ Win32 GUI

1. Are there any books that teach it?
2. I have used the CreateWindow(); function to create a text box, but is there any way to change the formatting of it? I need to allow more than 1 line, and vertical scrolling (for if the text box gets filled).

I am not using Visual C++.
Petzold's "Programming Windows, 5th Edition" is the latest version of the classic Win32 API textbook.

If you just want to create GUIs in windows, there are much easier ways:

Yeah I know, just using Win32 for some practice. I think I'm going to learn Qt.
