Hi guys, i've been using C++ for a bit now and i want to start making more useful programs. I saw someone making this program on youtube, but he did not explain anything. It was literally just a copy and paste my source code, and besides he did not know what he was writing either. Anyways, he used some terms that i really want some in depth noob friendly explanation for, if there is a page for any of these terms, please let me know.. and also, are these terms in the Windows.h Library?
So heres some of the terms
-DWORD
-HWND
-HANDLE
-hProcSnap
-PROCESSENTRY32

There is alot more terms then that, but if all those terms are related to a page, please link me to it so i can learn this!
Thanks guys :)

Yes, they're windows.h related.

The first three are data types: [1]
DWORD->unsigned long
HWND->Window Handle
HANDLE->Generic Handle

The fourth is most likely the value returned by CreateToolhelp32Snapshot() [4]
Which is then used in one of the other Tool Help Library Functions. [5]

The fifth is a structure: [2]
PROCESSENTRY32->Structure Used For The Tool Help Library [3]
