Windows api Visual studio 2010

[4Gb4jE8b]

VS 2010 has a very nice prewritten windows api script (mind you that i hardly understand) but the documentation for vs 2010 is very very confusing. Can anyone point me in the right direction for just learning about the handlers classes and functions of the windows api?

note this is a general page of the site i was trying to use

You should probably start with this book.

I second kbw's advice. Check out Petzold's "Windows Programming", I believe fifth edition. His Windows 95 book is about as good (depending on your viewpoint), as it covers COM, while the latter book doesn't, and it can be had used for little more than the cost of postage.

Also, check out the Forger's Win32 Api Tutorial. Google it.
