I have a c/c++ dll I want to call in CVI. I get error message in the .h file.

For example the compiler do not recognise declarations as HWND or WORD or FAR*  in the following part of the .h file. How can I fix this problem?
typedef struct tag_ooi_param
{
 short  ssize;    // size of this structure in bytes
 short  dev;    // reserved, must be 0
 short  cmd;    // command, use CMD_ constants
 short  msg;    // message, use MSG_ constants
 short  res;    // reserved, DO NOT ALTER
 short  fdc;    // flash delay in msec
 WORD  dsf;    // sampling frequency (kHz - S1000, msec - S2000)
 short  boxcar;    // boxcar smoothing width
 short  average;   // samples to average
 short  cur_sampl;   // number of samples collected
 short  chan_ena[MAX_BUF]; // spectrometer channel enabled array
 short  chan_stat[MAX_BUF]; // spectrometerchannel buffer status
 BOOL  changed;   // flag indicating parameters have changed
 BOOL  ovrr_ok;   // do not halt on scan overrun
 BOOL  cont;    // single or continuous scan
 BOOL  flash_cont;   // continuous flash control
 BOOL  scan_dark;   // scan dark
 BOOL  correct_dark;  // correct for electrical dark signal
 int   extrig;    // external trigger mode
 HWND  hWnd;    // window to receive Windows messages
 HINSTANCE host;    // application instance handle
 float FAR* chdat[MAX_BUF];  // spectral data array pointers
 BOOL UseUSecIntegrationTime;
 DWORD USecIntegrationTime;
 int AutonullingStatus;
 int AutonullingDark;
} OOI_PARAM;
