Hi!

We found a handle to the icon in the title bar, but no way to exchange with
our own one. Does anybody know, how to load an icon in the title bar.

Thank you in advance!

Best regards,
Ingmar Brumm.

Hello,

Use SetClassLong(hwnd, GCL_HICON, icon);

Did you even try looking in your Win32 API help file before posting this?

You can set the icon of a window using the WM_SETICON message.

No, this sets the icon for all windows of a given class. While this might
be fine if the class is a custom one registered by your app for its own use,
it would be very bad to do for, say, a window of the standard DIALOG class.

In any case, the preferred method to set the icon of a specific window is to
send a WM_SETICON message to it.
