Hi David,
http://www.adapower.com has a complete section on Windows development. 
Probably where you'd want to go first.  look for GWindows among other 
things.  http://www.gnavi.org/gwindows/ is the direct link to everything 
GWindows related.

Also, on my website (http://www.adaworld.com) in my projects pages 
(application projects and binding projects both) there's windows related 
material there.

I would have to suggest brushing up your Ada skills a bit, since it's been a 
long time since you did C programming.  Just take a look here: 
http://www.techtutorials.info/prada.html, Ada Power has some interesting 
reading material as well.  Also, my website has a learning center, take a 
look at the tutorials there.

Hope this helps.
