The best library!

I want to learn windows API to program in C++. I don't have msdn. I have downloaded a help file for windows API but it does give me a complete list of parameters for each action. Let us for

LRESULT CALLBACK wp(HWND hwnd, UINT msg, WPARAM wparam, LPARAM lparam);

In this case, if there is a message that button is clicked with the mouse, it send you the x and y positions lparam. For any other action(not mouse) it will send some thing else.

So I want a complete reference of everything in API.
Is there any other help file which is a COMPLETE refrence for the Windows API functions?

You will have to get MSDN if you want to go deeper into windows programming. It is by far the best API reference.

Specifically, the Platform SDK.

And, if you want to be really really specific, why not try the Platform SDK? Now there's a crazy idea.

You should view the FAQ first. It already answered this question.

Guess it shows that if people aren't going to search for their question, then they probably won't look at the FAQ. Too bad.

Well since the search is down, and the announcement is at the top in contrast with the other threads, I presumed that it would be the first place people would look.

Oh well.
