put an icon in your project''s resource file, and give it an id of -1

When defining your window class make sure to have this line

wc.hIcon = LoadIcon(hInst,MAKEINTRESOURCE(ID_MYICON));

Or you can change your window''s icon at any time my calling this:

SetClassLong(hwnd, // window handle
GCL_HICON, // changes icon
(LONG) LoadIcon(hinst, MAKEINTRESOURCE(ID_MYICON))
);

Of cource, substitute ID_MYICON with your resource.

Don''t forget to #include "resource.h"

For a working example visit my site and download the Eyescream Framework code!
