As in a regular Windows window, for example when you open up IE 
or a program. The container of the program itself, 
non-command-line.

So a GUI window?
If so I am working on a library for that for Phobos.
Only problem is, its a long way off. Although Windows support is more or 
less done.

Otherwise you're stuck with c libraries such as SDL.

The short answer: the same way you do it in C or C++. You just 
need to use bindings to the C or C++ libraries out there. D can 
interface directly with the Win32 API and the bindings for it are 
in DRuntime (the core.sys.windows as Rikki suggested). If all you 
need is to develop on Windows, that's a safe option. If you need 
a complete, cross-platform GUI toolkit, there are D bindings for 
Gtk (GtkD) and SWT (DWT). If you don't need all the bells and 
whistles like tabs, menus, editor panes and the like, then you 
can use SDL or GLFW (see DerelictSDL2 and DerelictGLFW3 for 
bindings), which are oriented toward games and, in GLFW's case, 
OpenGL.

Technically DWT is not bindings to SWT. It's the full source completely 
translated to D.

You can choose between existing libraries or wrappers for GUI 
implementation like:
DlangUI, Qt, ..., (or my new GUI framework called Rikarin what 
will be avaiable soon).

If you want just create window for e.g. OpenGL context you can 
use WinAPI CreateWindow or wrappers like SDL or GLFW
