Need a good GUI tutorial

[Null]

After 4 weeks of learning GUI i know how to create and work with buttons and text fields. I know how to create listbox, radiobutton, checkbox -but how do i use them? i don't know how to interact with checkbox or radiobutton - how can i check or uncheck them?
I really need a good windows GUI tutorial. Of course, there are many tutorials but almost all of them are for .NET or MFC :-( . So if you know website about GUI programming it would be great!

Which library are you using?

...?
I'm not using something special, just windows api. I always create dialogs with .rc files - is this a good choice?

If you want some examples try Win32 example (II) from http://www.cplusplus.com/src/ , you should understand from that how to use Windows API even if it is not a tutorial.
If you really want a tutorial, try on Google: http://www.google.com/search?q=winapi+tutorial (Notice that if you find tutorials in C would be fine because WinAPI is in C)

Thanks Bazzy. 1st thing i've noticed is that CreateWindow() used for controls. But i'm using resource files to do that -is this good?

Using C++ code you would have more flexibility and you can compile it with any C++ compiler but if you prefer using rc files there's nothing 'wrong'

To be QUITE honest, I don't like the C style Win32API GUI library. As a result I use wxWidgets or even Qt or GTK+. The only real advantage of using the WinAPI directly is a small executable. If you remember uTorrent, that program is a good idol on what I mean. VERY fast using the Win32 API directly and an extremely small executable. It's almost a 1/20 of the size it would be if he made with wxWidgets statically.

I find Qt to be useful...if a bit clunky. But I can't complain, as I don't use any other GUI dev kit.
