Sending/returning values to MFC/Microsoft functions

Hi all,
Sorry for a really stupid question, but how do I send and receive
values to/from Windows APIs? Is it via the stack, or via registers? If
the latter, is there a website that lists which registers contain which
return values?

Many thanks

Trev
