Load Icon from resource files

Does anyone know how to load an icon from a resourcefile.
With bmp's I can do
    Bmp.LoadFromResourceName(HInstance, BmpNames[Index]);

I would love to do the same with icons.

Kind regards

Alexander

Use the LoadIcon API function.

procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
var
 Icon: TIcon;
begin
 Icon := TIcon.Create;

 Icon.Handle := LoadIcon(HInstance, 'MAINICON');

 {check success by viewing}
 Image1.Picture.Assign(Icon);

 Icon.Free;
end;
