Is it possible to find the hwnd from ClassName, not from the Window Text?

This should be possible with FindWindowEx_().
If the last parameter "lpszWindow" is #NULL, all window names will
match thus only the 3rd parameter "lpszClass" will be used.
Is that what you're after?

The FindWindow API has two parameters: title and class. Take your pick.

Yes, like this:
Replace XClass with the one you are looking for.

Just don't forget that there can be multiple windows of the same class up at any given time, so if you are going by class only you will need to iterate through all the windows it finds to get the one you want. Unless you are looking for a window with a classname you have registered and you know to be unique, of course.
