Should be a fairly easy question (for those who know how to do it :S) How do I set the icon of a win32 dialog @ runtime? Thanks

You can send it a WM_SETICON message, although there are probably other ways.

Load in the icon when you register your window:


	WNDCLASS wc;
..
	wc.hIcon = LoadIcon(NULL, IDI_APPLICATION);
..
	if(!RegisterClass(&wc))
	{
		MessageBox(NULL, "Error registering Window", "Error", MB_OK);
	}


I think you can substitute IDI_APPLICATION with
MAKEINTRESOURCE(your resource id)
