HICON m_hRemoteIcon;
CString m_strFileName;
//Assume m_strFileName point to valid Program file//Now use the Extract Icon api to Extract the Icon
//First Parameter =NULL( indicateuse the curent instance)
//Second Parameter = Name of file from which you want to extract icon
//Third Parameter : Index of icon ,here i am extracting the
// first icon from the exefile

m_hRemoteIcon=ExtractIcon(NULL,m_strFileName,0);
//here m_statIcon is static ctrl of type ICON
m_statIcon.SetIcon(m_hRemoteIcon);
