Web interacton
I would like to know how to interact with a web page.
I already know how to do a GET request and I know how to use WinInet.
What functions/API do I need to use to interact with the web?
Specifically, clicking a button, entering text into a form, anything I can do in my browser.
Im not asking for copy-paste code, im just asking for what functions to use, like a link to MSDN articles explaining stuff.
Also, I'd prefer not to use libraries, since they are hard for me to get to work.( linking is confusing as hell)
What I currently have, is a simple console program that outputs HTML code of a website.
Finally :
I found these alien links:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa768282%28v=vs.85%29.aspx
I cannot find how to use these commands in c++, can someone explain these?
I am impatient, please help.

If you don't want to show the web page on the screen or anything and just send the data equivalent to clicking the submit button on a forms, then you should look into POST requests. That's how form data is normally sent.
