Hi, where can I find written GUI tutorials for GUI Design in C++ besides Winprog.org's? I would like it to feature Windows.h and it is okay if it costs money to buy.

Look for books on Windows Programming at amazon.com or your local Barns & Noble. Its unlikely you will find anything that describes everything that windows.h has to offer. But you will find quite a few books about how to write windows gui programs using pure win32 api, MFC, Forms, C#, etc.
