The GetClassName function retrieves the name of the class to which the specified window belongs.
int GetClassName(
| HWND hWnd, | // handle of window |
| LPTSTR lpClassName, | // address of buffer for class name |
| int nMaxCount | // size of buffer, in characters |
| ); |

hWnd
Identifies the window and, indirectly, the class to which the window belongs.
lpClassName
Points to the buffer that is to receive the class name string.
nMaxCount
Specifies the length, in characters, of the buffer pointed to by the lpClassName parameter. The class name string is truncated if it is longer than the buffer.
