Parameter Information
· lpClassName
Points to a null-terminated string that specifies the class name or is an atom that identifies the class-name string. If this parameter is an atom, it must be a global atom created by a previous call to the GlobalAddAtom function. The atom, a 16-bit value, must be placed in the low-order word of lpClassName; the high-order word must be zero.

Points to a null-terminated string that specifies the window name (the window’s title). If this parameter is NULL, all window names match.

Return Values
