I have used and can recommend highly Phoenix's PforCe library.
It not only has object oriented windows but also comm, low level
graphics, field entry, and B-tree routines.  The version I received
from Phoenix was for MSC 3.0 but the source is provided and will 
function as is or recompile with 4.0.

There is also a functional windowing system for MSC in shareware.
Windows 4 C is availible for either Lattice or MSC.  It does not
support graphics as is but the price sure is right.  You can get
it off our BBS at (303) 273-3989.  There is also a graphics, sound,
mouse, joystick library for MSC availible on the CSM BBS system.
