Under Windows XP I have tried to change the icon of both a main and an MDI window (whilst the window is shown) by sending a WM_SETICON message passing the handle of a valid loaded icon. Nothing happens !

Are you sending it to the correct window handle? If it is something like a property sheet, the handle that you think is the frame is actually a child of the frame. You may need to go up one more level.

Have a look with spy++. See if you have the correct handle.

Thanks, but it's the same window handle that I also use to set the title so I am sure of its validity.
