How can I change program icon in EC++?

I have one resource file for several projects. In this resource file I have
several icons. For each project I would like to use different program icon.
I tried to change the icon in RegisterClass call:

wc.style = CS_HREDRAW | CS_VREDRAW;
wc.lpfnWndProc = (WNDPROC) WndProc;
wc.cbClsExtra = 0;
wc.cbWndExtra = 0;
wc.hInstance = hInstance;
wc.hIcon = LoadIcon(hInstance, MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDI_ICON1));
wc.hCursor = 0;
wc.hbrBackground = (HBRUSH) GetStockObject(WHITE_BRUSH);
wc.lpszMenuName = 0;
wc.lpszClassName = szWindowClass;

But this does not work. Program always use the icon which was program icon
in the original project.

Where is defined and how can I change program icon?

If you mean the icon showing in the file explorer then I think it always
shows the first icon found in the resource. If you don't use the other icons
in the resource file you can use a couple of compile switches to skip them
or at least make sure the icon you want as program icon comes first.

Do note that changing the program icon will not take effect in the file
explorer until you soft reset the device since the icons are cached in
memory.

In eVC delete the IDR_MAINFRAME icon ... add your own icon to the resources
... rename it to IDR_MAINFRAME ... voila ...

Problem solved. Icon with the lowest ID in the resource.h file will be
picked as the program icon.
