Well, I''m starting using opengl apis, but I want to know if possible to use the parameter info option that it exists in Visual C++ when calling any built-in function or function I have created in my application. Because sometimes I don''t remember all the parameters that some opengl functions need and the parameter info option would be great to me.

When using VC++ you should almost always be able to see the parameters of an already defined function whether it be a library call or your own. If for some reason you cannot, make sure to delete your browse info files (.ncb, .opt, .plg) and rebuild your project. To see all the members of a structure or class (intellisense) however is not fully working. Wholetomato sells a tool for Visual C++ that improves it so that it works much more often.

Yeah, Visual Assist is the program made by wholetomato, and it not only improves intellisense, it adds a whole load of other features too

You could also try adding the OpenGL header files ("gl.h", etc) to you project in DevStudio - that tends to encourage IntelliSense to do its job.
