LoadIcon( hInst, cnIcon )-> <hIcon>
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PARAMETER:
<hInst> identifies the handle of the module that contains the icon
to be loaded.
<cnIcon> is the name OR the numeric identifier of the icon to be loaded
RETURNS:
<hIcon> is the handle of the loaded icon, or zero if the module contains
no Icons.
DESCRIPTION:
This function loads the icon resource only if it has not been loaded;
otherwise, it retrieves a handle of the existing resource.
An application can use the LoadIcon function to access the predefined
icons used by Windows. To do this, the application must set the <hInst>
parameter to NULL and the <cnIcon> parameter to one of the following
values:
IDI_APPLICATION (32512) Default application icon
IDI_ASTERISK (32516) Asterisk, used in informative messages
IDI_EXCLAMATION (32515) Exclamation point, used in warning messages
IDI_HAND (32513) Hand-shaped icon, used in serious warning
messages
IDI_QUESTION (32514) Question mark, used in prompting messages
It is not necessary to destroy these system icons. An application should
use the DestroyIcon function to destroy any private icons it loads
