Qt is a framework for applications on many different operating systems, but it's not the same as the Windows API. Qt is mostly used on unix-like operating systems; most (if not all) the applications you use on Windows will have been created in Windows' own API. The only time you'll really see it on Windows is when you're using a program that was specifically designed to be cross-platform. If you're looking to develop on Windows and learn about Windows, its own API would be the best way to go.
There's not really any way of visually creating programs in C++ on Windows (apart from resource editing for C/C++ or using VB), but you'll eventually have to learn about how it all works so it's good to start from the beginning. Whatever language you use (and if you decide to use VB), the core of the program still has to be manually programmed.
Oh, I guess I was looking for an easy way out. Back to the books I guess.
