Lets say I have an icon file "icon1.ico". How do I make this the icon for a program in MSV C++? Does this have to be specified in the project or can I do it strictly in the code?

You can simply add it to your resources and windows will automatically use it.

Do you load the icon with your window class?

wndclass.hIcon = LoadIcon(GetModuleHandle(NULL),MAKEINTRESOURCE(ICON_1));

Dev-C++ will do it for you...just go into the Project Options and select an icon.

Noods:

The part stooge_dev forgot to tell you was that you have to set ICON_1

Set which icon to use like the following:

ICON_1 ICON DISCARDABLE "MyGame.ico"

then do

wndclass.hIcon = LoadIcon(GetModuleHandle(NULL),MAKEINTRESOURCE(ICON_1));

You have to put the ICON_1 in something like a resource.h file
