How I may receive data from different selector?

This is a fragment of "Win32 Programmer's Reference" (about CBTProc):

.....

LRESULT CALLBACK CBTProc(
int  nCode,	// hook code
WPARAM  wParam,	// depends on hook code
LPARAM  lParam 	// depends on hook code
);

........

nCode: HCBT_ACTIVATE
wParam: Specifies the handle of the window about to be activated.
lParam: Specifies a LONG POINTER to a CBTACTIVATESTRUCT structure containing the
handle of the active window and specifies whether the activation is changing
because of a mouse click.

A "long pointer" under Win32 is the same as a short pointer, i.e. a regular
32 bit pointer. The term "long pointer" is a vestige of the 16 bit world.
