Windows.h?

[agetina]

I can read the prototypes for windows.h in the include folder (I have installed dev c++) but i want a list of explained functions. I don't know for what to use each of them. Thank you!

Well, usually you don't need to read the explanations of all Win32 API functions in order to be a developer. Anyway (you know) you may find help for each and every function online, for instance searching for EncodePointer (the first function I found in winbase.h) gives [^] :)

Look on MSDN - the best way is to Google for _function-name_ site:msdn.microsoft.com. For example - what does CreateFile do? Just Google for CreateFile site:msdn.microsoft.com. Anyway - as I said to you yesterday[^], you're going about this backwards. Start with the MSDN documentation (which tells you all about the function definitions) and then find the function prototype in the header files (although why even do that except when compiling code?!)
