4.16: How do I set the icon that's displayed in the caption of a frame window or dialog? 

You first load the icon from your program's resources, then set it as the window's current icon. 
You should set both the large (32x32) and small (16x16) icons; the large icon is used in the 
Alt+Tab window, and the small icon is used in the caption bar and the Taskbar.

Note that the code generated by the MFC AppWizard is buggy and does not properly set the small icon. 
The LoadIcon() function can only load 32x32 icons; to load 16x16 icons, use LoadImage().

// MFC:
HICON hLargeIcon = AfxGetApp()->LoadIcon ( IDI_NEW_ICON );
HICON hSmallIcon = (HICON) ::LoadImage ( AfxGetResourceHandle(), 
                                         MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDI_NEW_ICON),
                                         IMAGE_ICON, 16, 16, LR_DEFAULTCOLOR );

  wndYourWindow.SetIcon ( hLargeIcon, TRUE );
  wndYourWindow.SetIcon ( hSmallIcon, FALSE );

// Win32 API:
HICON hLargeIcon = LoadIcon ( hinstYourModuleInstance,
                              MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDI_NEW_ICON) );
HICON hSmallIcon = (HICON) LoadImage ( hinstYourModuleInstance,
                                       MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDI_NEW_ICON),
                                       IMAGE_ICON, 16, 16, LR_DEFAULTCOLOR );
 
  SendMessage ( hwndYourWindow, WM_SETICON, ICON_BIG, hLargeIcon );
  SendMessage ( hwndYourWindow, WM_SETICON, ICON_SMALL, hSmallIcon );
