CopyIcon

The CopyIcon function copies the specified icon from another module to the current module.

HICON CopyIcon(

HICON hIcon
// handle to icon to copy
);

Parameters

hIcon

Identifies the icon to be copied.

Return Values

If the function succeeds, the return value is the handle to the duplicate icon.

If the function fails, the return value is NULL. To get extended error information, call GetLastError.

Remarks

The CopyIcon function enables an application or dynamic-link library (DLL) to get its own handle to an icon owned by another module. If the other module is freed, the application icon will still be able to use the icon.
