This question could be answered at any number of levels depending on what
specifically you are looking for.  

1) You could program Windows directly using the Win32API binding (see
www.adahome.com for this).  WARNING:  this gets quite ugly.

2) You could use a thick binding (e.g. CLAW from RR Software)

3) You could use a GUI Builder for Windows (e.g. see www.aonix.com)

4) You could use a binding to a platform independent library (e.g. TASH
tash.calspan.com)

5) You could use a GUI design tool for such a binding (e.g.

WARNING: blatant self-promotion).

Hope this at least gives you some places to start looking.
