with making a simple window programmatically and adding some controls and a
menu.

You should maybe google for "Delphi non VCL tutorial" or something like
this to find tutorials. And on that level you can more or less use
everything they show in FPC as well.

library is called or where I could reference that online (.net maybe?).

For the Windows headers you only need to add unit Windows to get most of
them. There are some more units that are like in Delphi (e.g. ShellApi) and
even more are provided by the Jedi units (jwa*).
