| HICON hIcon | // handle to icon to copy |
| ); |
Parameters

Identifies the icon to be copied.
Return Values
If the function succeeds, the return value is the handle to the duplicate icon.

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.
