It is worth looking at http://www.iarchitect.com/mshame.htm (for what to avoid), and http://www.joelonsoftware.com/uibook/chapters/fog0000000057.html for a very readable guide to Best Practice.
Although both these sites are aimed more at the businaess application programmer, you should glean something of use to you.

Yes, we attempt to conform to Microsoft's standards...but the application we are developing is not notepad,word, excel type of tools...it's a geotechnical, engineering, cad type of software. Microsoft does not address spatial/geodata objects.

As a practical matter, if you would like your software to be most usable by hundreds of millions of people there is only one GUI standard: Microsoft's. Your software should use Windows GUI conventions whenever possible. Microsoft publishes a lot of material on their web sites and with their development tools (MSDN, etc.) that is very helpful.
