[comp.windows.ms.programmer] PRogramming Guides/References

Hi Peoples,
	
		I'm one of the poor souls who got ripped off baddly by
	our friends at MicroSoft for the SDK. I'm writting an app. which
	requires that several windows are active (i.e. drawing) in the 
	background (i.e. I want to draw in a window which may be hidden 
	under another widow). I attempted to do this via the MDI, but the
	device contexts seemed to do funny things. 
		
			The crux of the question is can anyone recommend a good
	text which is suitable as an introduction to the more complex
	application concepts in Windows (not the rubbish they give in the
	SDK set) as well as a good reference (although I will admit that
	MS provided a reasonable reference...)

		Regards,
			Andrew D.
