How can the lpClassName parameter of CreateWindowEx be optional

Viewed 1089

According to MSDN, the lpClassName parameter of CreateWindowEx is optional.

lpClassName [in, optional]

However, the documentation makes no mention of what it means to pass NULL. What's more, if NULL is passed, then there is no way for the window manager to find a window procedure for the new window.

So, is the documentation wrong? Or is it correct and there is some scenario where NULL is a valid value for lpClassName?
