  Send a WM_SETICON message to the frame control (i.e. the dialogue
  itself).

  Probably because the example code is included in the PM Guide and
  Reference, under "WinLoadPointer" in the section marked
"Example".

  How difficult can it be ?  You need a module handle, and a resource ID.
  The module handle is either 0 or the handle that you saved from
  _DLL_InitTerm, and the resource ID is whatever you want it to be.

  Did you forget to actually bind the resource into your EXE/DLL or
  something ?
