In this post, .net platform has this pinvoke mechanism where it is allowed that you call into the Native windows .
this is extremely useful when you have some 3rd party libraries or if you try to program against with the low-level windows APIS.


One of the typic application htat utilize the Lowe-level windows apis are those Native win32 applications. Where you creat a message pump with the necessary WNDCLASSEX to represent/register the window message pump and message handler process.  What you will deal with the win32 applications include the following. 
RegisterClassEx, CreateWindowEx, GetMessage(), TranslateMesage(), and DispatchMessage(...). 

to be able to use the Window API, you have to declare tons of Structure and PInvoke Method, while you can find help from the Pinvoke.Net. 

First, we will introduce some of the win32/user32 functions and their relative structure definitions.
