Summary
The SetWindowLongPtr API. Use this one instead of SetWindowLong to assure 64 bit compatibility.

C# Signature:

// SetWindowLongPtr
public static IntPtr SetWindowLongPtr(HandleRef hWnd, int nIndex, IntPtr dwNewLong)
{
      if (IntPtr.Size == 8)
      return SetWindowLongPtr64(hWnd, nIndex, dwNewLong);
      else
      return new IntPtr(SetWindowLong32(hWnd, nIndex, dwNewLong.ToInt32()));
}

[DllImport("user32.dll", EntryPoint="SetWindowLong")]
private static extern int SetWindowLong32(HandleRef hWnd, int nIndex, int dwNewLong);

[DllImport("user32.dll", EntryPoint="SetWindowLongPtr")]
private static extern IntPtr SetWindowLongPtr64(HandleRef hWnd, int nIndex, IntPtr dwNewLong);
