Each window class has an associated window procedure shared by all windows of the same class. The window procedure processes messages for all windows of that class and therefore controls their behavior and appearance

So this means if you share a class between two windows, they not just share the title (if I remember correctly), they also share the same messaging procedure. This may cause one window resize to also resize the other window and so on but it becomes tricky if you declare an override for the window message handling, especially if you intend to use HID API or UPnP features

Setting the window's title is done per instance of the window, regardless of whether they have the same class. That's why SetWindowText takes a HWND parameter

The window procedure has the window instance as first parameter, so it is perfectly possible to distinguish window instances.

Ah right, I looked into my engine source. I got confused with the window class name

WNDCLASSEXA wc; Drough::memset(&wc, 0, sizeof(wc));
if(!boolean_cast(GetClassInfoExA(GetModuleHandleA(0), WIN32_SURFACE_CLASS_NAME, &wc)))
{
	wc.cbClsExtra = 0;
 	wc.cbWndExtra = 0;
 	wc.style = CS_OWNDC;
 	wc.cbSize = sizeof(WNDCLASSEX);
 	wc.hInstance = GetModuleHandleA(0);
 	wc.lpfnWndProc = WndProc;
 	wc.hCursor = LoadCursor(NULL, IDC_ARROW);
 	wc.hbrBackground = (HBRUSH)GetStockObject(BLACK_BRUSH);
 	wc.lpszClassName = WIN32_SURFACE_CLASS_NAME;
 	wc.lpszMenuName = 0;

 	if(!RegisterClassExA(&wc)) return 0;
 }
		
 handle = CreateWindowExA(WS_EX_APPWINDOW, WIN32_SURFACE_CLASS_NAME, 
 	name,
 	((border) ? (WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW ^ WS_THICKFRAME) : WS_POPUP),
 	0, 
 	0,
 	CW_USEDEFAULT,
 	CW_USEDEFAULT,
 	0,
 	0,
 	#if defined(PTR_SIZE) && PTR_SIZE == 64
 	(HINSTANCE)(uintptr_t)GetWindowLong((HWND) handle, GWLP_HINSTANCE),
 	#else
 	(HINSTANCE) GetWindowLong((HWND) handle, GWL_HINSTANCE),
 	#endif
0);
