在Windows上用C进行直接GDI编程(Straight GDI Programming in C on Windows)

 我最近对C语言编程的兴趣尽可能高效。我仍然想要一些GUI的东西，Windows API / GDI仍然是值得尊重的方式吗？ 我不相信你可以定期打电话给WPF，因为它主要是管理事务。 在Vista / Win7下，GDI真的没有加速吗？ 如果是这样，还有另一种方法可以从直接C获得硬件加速的GUI吗？ （除了可能是使用OpenGL的滚动自己的方法） 
 
 此外，Petzold曾经是使用C获取Windows API编程的黄金标准，是否有更新版本的材料，还是有其他人占据了地幔？ 我看到的最后一版是1999年...... 

I have taken a recent interest in programming as efficiently as possible for Windows in straight C. I still want a GUI for some things, is the Windows API/GDI still the respectable way to go about this? I don't believe you can make regular calls for WPF, since it is largely a managed affair. Is GDI really un-accelerated under Vista/Win7? If so, is there another alternative to get hardware accelerated GUIs from straight C? (Other than perhaps the roll-yer-own approach with OpenGL)
 
Also, Petzold used to be the gold standard for picking up Windows API programming with C, is there a newer edition of his materials, or has someone else taken up the mantle? The last edition I saw is from 1999...
