If your programs use the C windows API you need to know about the things in the Compound Data Types section of the tutorials (Arrays, Character sequences, Pointers, Dynamic memory, Data structures, Other data types),
if they use MFC you should know everything explained in the tutorial

Read the Petzold, the Richter, MSDN, Adv. Win32 ng news://comp.os.ms-windows.programmer.win32,
the Russinovich and you'll be able to do everything...
