It'd be greater if the documentation were a little more illunimating - 
although it's not too bad.

Yeah, to some extent.

To another extent, there's a fair few layers of backwards compatibility 
in there to wade through.

Also, the Win32 concept of a "window" is not the same thing as what you 
or I would consider a "window". (E.g., a checkbox is a "window".) Makes 
things interesting...
