I must admit, there is a bit of a learning curve to Win32Lib, but once
you start to get it, it becomes really easy. I can code a complete app
from the ground up in a matter of minutes/hours with just a basic
editor and Win32Lib. If I use the IDE to  poke around and swap between
individual control code, it would take me longer. I suggest playing
around with the IDE for a while, but examine the code it generates and
pay attention, as you learn, you'll be able to write your own Win32Lib
code.
