In which header of opengl is defined wglSwapBuffers? Can I use it to replace the SwapBuffers(hDC) call in my render function?

It''s not. All WGL functions are MS Windows functions only
found in DLLs, not headers.

Why would you want to use wglSwapBuffers anyway?

I don''t know the differences between SwapBuffers and wglSwapBuffers, only that one is not cross-plataform, but it doesn''t care me, because my program is win32 only. I would like to know, if for a specific win32 program, wglSwapBuffers is faster to swap buffers than SwapBuffers or if it have any good caracteristic that don''t have SwapBuffers.
