What you're probably seeing is hungarian notation. It's a system of tacking on the datatype to the front of the variable name. So cblParam is probably a count of bytes to the lParam (which is itself a long value).
I would suggest you pick up a copy of Charles Petzold's book: Programming Windows fifth edition (ISBN: 157231995X).
