For those curious, this MSVC solution worked: // Format a "unique" NewWindowTitle. sprintf(pszNewWindowTitle, "%d/%d", GetTickCount(), GetCurrentProcessId()); sprintf(pszNewCommand, "c:\\cygwin\\bin\\bash.exe -c \'echo -ne \"\\e]2;%s\\a\"\'", pszNewWindowTitle); system(pszNewCommand); // Ensure window title has been updated. Sleep(40); // Look for NewWindowTitle. hwndFound = FindWindow(NULL, pszNewWindowTitle); // our program There is no way that I know of to get the original title so I had to make my program set the title to something meaningful while changing the icon. There are other difficulties as well when freeing icon handles but I have a solution if anyone is interested.
