You can take WinAPI, but you can't draw, for example, in Java.

Use a framework in the language that uses the native interface and platform code. In this case - WinAPI (VCL, WinForms)

If the intended language is C++, then there is one caveat: the wxWidgets library, on the one hand, does not add its own components using the native Windows GUI. Unlike Qt, for example. And on the other hand, working with it is immeasurably easier and more pleasant than with such a bottom as WinAPI. Or with obviously obsolete MFC, which she, in fact, copies quite strongly.

Native - official, supported by the system by default, supplied with the system or through the update center. That is, it can be, for example, some .Net, and any library from c/windows/system32.
