Desktop app to use Facebook without a browser

Desktop app to use Facebook without a browser

I am NOT talking about a Facebook app, it drives me mental that all that
'AppID' and 'access token' stuff is literally ALL that pops up when I try
to find the info I need via Google. I am writing a simple Windows
application to use Facebook without a browser, like the mobile apps. I'm
using C/C++, and I'm NOT here for recommendations what I should use
instead, nor am I here to be interrogated 'why' I want to do it, or told
that those apps already exist along with wisearsery about 'reinventing the
wheel', and least of all am I interested in anyone's 'library' I'm
generously allowed to use, and I'm not a kid at school, hence I'm not here
to 'do my homework' either, as I've mentioned above, Google is USELESS and
only floods my screen with Facebook app nonsense, so if you have nothing
to contribute that helps me achieve what I want, don't respond in the
first place. Okay, now for those who actually want to help instead of
pretending to be smart: Login works perfectly, but all I can get so far is
the HTML source, not helpful at all. I need to know how to request
database info, and fetch news feed and accessible wall
posts/comments/likes, friends list, messages, etc. So far I have found
nothing useful at all, I can only log in sucessfully. If anyone knows how
I can request the database entries that hold the information I need, and
how to post/upload, etc, I'd be eternally grateful. I want to use nothing
other than the WinInet functions, the app is supposed to request/send info
in the exact same way as browsers do, no 3rd party components, different
languages, or anything. Whoever will actually try to help, thank you so
much in advance, I really appreciate it. :-) Whoever wants to be a
smartarse or ask me completely pointless questions that shouldn't matter
to them, I won't even bother acknowledging you, goodbye in advance. :-P
