API's in VC++

Hi:

I'm a newbie VC++ programmer and I have a question.

I'd like to learn about API's in VC++, where to declare them, how to make reference, etc.

I don't know where could I learn such things so, please, I hope anyone could tell me a Link or may be a book or where could I find vc++ samples.

Thanks.

just #include <windows.h>

then they're all declared for you to use :)

But you'd be better off learning the language itself first. In console applications.

If you want to learn API programming (making sure that you have learned console programming first), you should get the book "Programming Windows" by Charles Petzold. It's the bible of Windows programming....

But don't learn all weird stuff of consoles, like centering etc. You won't sure use it!
But consoles are good to start with, learn how to declare variables and such.

Yeah, unless you're going to program utilities for the linux (or other console) world you can pretty much forget everything from the <iomanip> header.
