If you want to set the icon initially you use the hIcon and hIconSm members of the WNDCLASS or WNDCLASSEX structures. If you want to change it later, you can send the WM_SETICON message.

in window registration phase (WinMain function), this line does it

wndclass.hIcon = LoadIcon (NULL, IDI_APPLICATION) ;
