WinAPI newbie questions
Hi,
the meaning of API is pretty clear from the above replies, so WinAPI is Windows OS API's i,e the functions exposed by Windows OS to application programs, using these functions you can read files, write files and perform a lot of operations that require your application program to interact with the OS.
In Windows, you have the API grouped into sections such as the api's related to files,console's, drawing etc.....,
so depending on which api you want to use and purpose, you can look up that api in msdn and include the appropriate header file and if required its lib file and call the function(API) in your application and have the desired job achieved.
hope that clears your doubt.
