This is quite easy do:
for windows you can get/set the pointer to your class with
Set/GetWindowLong( hWnd, GWL_USERDATA );
  MyWndClass wndClass;
  // Register and Create Window
  RegisterMyClass( hInstance );
  g_hWnd = CreateWindow( "MyClass", "Caption", MY_STYLE, 1, 1, 200, 200,
NULL, NULL, hInstance, (LPVOID)(MyWndClass*)&wndClass);
for DialogWindows you can get/set the pointer to your class with
Set/GetWindowLong( hWnd, DWL_USER );
  MyDialogClass dialogClass;
  // init Class
  // and call Dialog
  DialogBoxParam( hInstance, "DialogTemplate, hWnd, _MyDialogProc,
(LPARAM)(MyDialogClass *)&dialogClass );
Another method to save the class pointer at a window are the SetProp,
GetProp and RemoveProp functions, which stick a user 32bit value to a
window.
I hope this helps
