Functions inside APIs?

This is probably a sad question, but in Win32 how do you know what functions are inside all of those Win32 APIs?
Like, the entry point in the program for example..

How can I know it's int WINAPI WinMain and how can I know all the parameters?

I ask because maybe I know this (thanks to google/pre-set templates) but there are many more things, like Dialog Boxes and more. and I don't know how to create them.

If I'm missing something please mention and help.
Thanks.

Search for any function you have a question about. It lists what all the parameters are, what the function does, any side effects, how to use it, what it returns, etc, etc, etc.

Basically it has everything on WinAPI.
Here's the specific link pertaining to WinMain() from Disch's link above...

That whole msdn link on Windows programming is good, starting with...
