The icon of an application is stored as a 'tAIB' 1000 resource. (The small icon is stored as a 'tAIB' 1001 resource - but many applications don't have small icons.) Presumably, you know the icon of which application you want to use (e.g., yours or some standard application), so you can open it an get this resource from it. Once you do that, you can draw the contents of the resource (i.e., the icon) directly on the screen using the WinDrawBitmap function.
Do not forget to lock the resource handle before using it and to unlock and release it after you draw it on the screen. Also, in case you're thinking of doing all this on frmOpenEvent, make sure that you draw the current form first. You can use the same approach to draw any other bitmap (not just an icon) that is stored in a resource (although, of course, it resource ID and number would be different). But the image *has* to be present there somehow. If the application doesn't already contain it, you can't avoid creating a bitmap resource with Constructor or whatever other resource editor you're using; the image can't appear out of thin air.
