1) #include <windows.h>
2) call functions.
Personally i'm not a big fan of using the preprocessor to include libraries for linking and personally think its a better idea to put the list of libraries in the project file.
don't forget to
#include <commctrl.h>
and call InitCommonControls();
it is usually required if you use some types of windows controls

You would have to reverse engineer the library, which is doable but a dirty job. Every library should come with headers, ask the library creator for them if you're sure they're missing.
