You're looking for the documentation on the Windows Event Log API. You'll need to call the native Win32 API functions, rather than use the .NET Framework's wrappers, since you're writing in unmanaged C++.

If you're targeting operating systems prior to Windows Vista (XP, Server 2003, etc.), you'll need to use the older Event Logging API instead.
