Question

I needed help with using the windows.h header file in C++.
I see people using windows.h in their programs to (obviously) interact with windows, but I don’t know how to use it.
Specifically, is there a website that lists and describes the methods and functions in the windows.h header file.
I try to open the windows.g header file and see the methods for myself but I only see a bunch of other #includes and don’t know what to do next.
I’m new to C++, so I apologize if my question is not a good one!

Well, there’s the Microsoft Developer Network at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-US/ which have reference and, I think, beginner tutorials, but you’ll probably be better off with a book. Charles Petzold’s “Programming Windows” used to use C++ (though I believe recent editions use C#)
