If you are new to both programming and C++ in particular, then you have a quite steep learning curve in front of you!
For an on-line resource to learning C++, have a look at https://www.learncpp.com/
For a book on learning C++, I suggest Beginning C++17: From Novice to Professional by Ivor Horton
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Beginning-C...654/ref=sr_1_1
For another intro book which covers simple graphics using FLTK, consider Programming: Principles and Practice Using C++ By Bjarne Stroustrup
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Programming...784/ref=sr_1_8
When I started Windows programming in C++ I used a GUI (Graphical User Interface) package called Win32++. There are several sample applications included. I picked the one I thought looked most like the one I wanted to write. This is an approach I think many programmers follow. Get started with a working sample and modify it to your liking.

An additional benefit is that David Nash, the author of Win32++, is very friendly and immediately answers all questions at the Win32++ forum. The only drawback with Win32++ I can think of is that it's a one-person project (as far as I know) and therefore somewhat vulnerable.
