Well if you're using a Dialog, or a window created by CreateWindowEx (After registering a class via RegisterClassEx) you should have a Windows Procedure that contains the hWnd, and if you used CreateWindowEx you should have the return of that, and not only that you'll already know the class name and such seeing as you registered the class, meaning you can just use FindWindow

yea, i know std_output_handle, but that's a handle. unless there's a way to convert it to a hwnd, i need it as a hwnd because i'm using SetWindowText(*hwnd here*, (LPCSTR) "blabla");

But he's trying to change the text of the console window anyways.... so why go to the trouble of getting the current title, using FindWindow, and then SetWindowText...
