Hi Marc,
You probably want a book like Sams Publishing's Win 32 API Desktop
Reference (ISBN 0-672-30364-7).
This describes all of the Win32 function calls (in terms of their C
interface) as of 1993, plus providing tutorial examples.
This book, coupled with the easy interface to C from Ada95 (e.g. gnat)
should give you what you need.

Also, you should consult the Web Page
"http://sw-eng.falls-church.va.us/AdaIC/source-code/bindings/win32ada/win32a
da.html" for an Ada binding to the Win32 API, and additional information
about what it takes to do Windows programming in Ada.
