WindowsAPI Function ListWindowsAPI Introduction:The English full name of the API (application programming Interface), WIN32 API is the MicrosoftWindows 32-bit Platform application programming interface. The understanding of this definition needs to be traced back to the development history of the operating system, when the Windows operating system began to dominate, the development of applications under the Windows platform became a requirement. And in the early days of the development of Windows programming, the only programming tools that Windows programmers can use are API functions, which Windows provides to applications and operating systems, and they are like "building blocks," which can be used to build a variety of interface-rich, A flexible, functional application. So you can think of API functions as the cornerstone of the entire Windows framework, below which is the OS core of Windows, and it's all gorgeous Windows applications.
List of API functions: 1. API network Functions wnetaddconnection Create a permanent connection to the same network resource WNetAddConnection2 create a connection to the same network resource WNetAddConnection3 create a connection to the same network resource Wnetcancelconnection end a network connection WNetCancelConnection2 end a network connection Wnetcloseenum end an enumeration operation WNetConnectionDialog start a label Quasi-dialog box to establish a connection to a network resource Wnetdisconnectdialog start a standard dialog box to disconnect from network resources WNetEnumResource Enumerate network resources wnetgetconnection get local or connected The network name of a resource Wnetgetlasterror an extended error message to get a network error wnetgetuniversalname get the remote name of a file in the network and/or UNC (uniform naming convention) name Wnetgetuser get a network The name that the resource is used to connect wnetopenenum the process of starting an enumeration of network resources 2. API Message function Broadcastsystemmessage A system message to all top-level windows in the system Getmessagepos the mouse pointer screen position when the last message in the message queue has been processed getmessagetime get the message The time that the last message in the queue was processed PostMessage a message to the specified window for Message Queuing PostThreadMessage post a message to the application RegisterWindowMessage get assigned to a string identifier. Message number Replymessage reply a message SendMessage call a window function, send a message to that window Sendmessagecallback send a message to the window SendMessageTimeout Send a message to the window SendNotifyMessage send a message to the window 3. The API's file handler function CloseHandle closes a kernel object. These include files, file mappings, processes, threads, Annsynchronization objects and other Comparefiletime compare the time of two files copyfile copy files createdirectory create a new directory CreateFile open and create files, pipelines, slots, communications services, devices, and consoles CreateFileMapping creates a new file mapping object DeleteFile deletes the specified file DeviceIoControl performs the specified operation on the device Dosdatetimetofiletime converts DOS date and time values into a Win32 FILETIME value FILETIMETODOSDATETIME converts a Win32 FILETIME value to a DOS date and time value FileTimeToLocalFileTime converts a FILETIME structure to a local time FileTimeToSystemTime loads a SYSTEMTIME structure based on the contents of a FILETIME structure FindClose closes a search handle created by the FindFirstFile function FindFirstFile Find a file based on the filename findnextfile the next file flushfilebuffers for the specified file handle, depending on the file name specified when the FindFirstFile function is called, the internal file buffer is refreshed Flushviewoffile All data written to the file mapping buffer is flushed to disk Getbinarytype determine if the file can be executed getcompressedfilesize determine the number of bytes actually occupied by a compressed file on disk GetCurrentDirectory in a slow Mount the current directory in the GetDiskFreeSpace to obtain information about the organization of a disk, and to understand the capacity of the remaining space GetDiskFreeSpaceEx obtain information about the organization of a disk and the capacity of the remaining space GetDriveType judgment The type of a disk drive Getexpandedname gets the full name of a compressed file GetFileAttributes determine the properties of the specified file GetFileInformationByHandle This function provides a mechanism for obtaining file information GetFileSize determine file length Getfiletime Gets the time information of the specified file Getfiletype, on the premise of giving a file handle, determines the file type GetFileVersionInfo Obtain the file version information from a module that supports the version tag Getfileversionin Fosize for a file containing a version resource, it is necessary to determine how large a buffer is needed to hold the file version information Getfullpathname get the full pathname of the specified file getlogicaldrives determine which logical drive letters exist in the system Getlogi Caldrivestrings gets a string that contains the root drive path of all current logical drives GetOverlappedResult the current state of an overlapping operation Getprivateprofileint as an initialization file (. ini file) The specified entry gets an integer value getprivateprofilesection gets a list of all the item names and values in the specified subsection (in an. ini file) getprivateprofilestring A string for the entry specified in the initialization file Getpro Fileint obtains an integer value for the specified entry in the Win.ini initialization file getprofilesection gets a list of all item names and values in the specified subsection (in Win.ini file) GetProfileString is the Win.ini initialization file middle finger The specified entry takes a string getshortpathname gets the short path name of the designated file GetSystemDirectory obtains the full pathname of the Windows system directory (that is, the system directory) GetTempFileName This function contains a The name of the temporary file that the application uses GetTempPath to get the path specified for the temporary file GetVolumeInformation get information about a disk volume getwindowsdirectory get the complete path to the Windows directory Path name Hread reference lread hwrite reference lwrite function Lclose Close the specified file lcreat create a file Llseek the current location of read/write in the settings file Lockfile lock a part of the file So that it is not shared with other applications LockfileeX is similar to Lockfile, except that it provides more functionality Lopen open the specified file in binary mode Lread read the data in the file into the memory buffer Lwrite write the data from the memory buffer to a file Lzclose close by Lzopenfil E or Lzinit function to open a file lzcopy copy a file lzinit This function is used to initialize the internal buffer lzopenfile the function can perform a large number of different file processing and is compatible with compressed files Lzread read data from a file into memory Buffer Lzseek Sets the current location for reading and writing in a file MapViewOfFile mapping a file map object to the address space of the current application MoveFile moving files OpenFile This function can perform a number of different file operations O Penfilemapping opens a ready-made file mapping object Querydosdevice in Windows NT, the DOS device name is mapped to the NT system device name.
