Well, I have a Visual Studio project with all of the files needed. It's WinAPI and some of the functions can't be found. Is there a tool I can use to convert Visual Studio Express project files to C::B files, or do I need to download the appropriate headers (if they're even avalible for DL)?

What do you mean by convert the projects?
From your description is seems you're talking like you need an automatic tool for porting from VC++ compiler to GCC automagically.

Yes. That's what I'm looking for.

That is not possible - those compilers are not compatible at all, so there cannot be a 1:1 transformation. They have even a completely different concept and also focus on different platforms (Win only / cross).
So - C::B helps you by converting only obvious switches via the project importer, but you are responsible for fixing your code and using right flags as needed.
