HINSTANCE hDllInst = LoadLibrary("shell32.dll");
HICON hIcon = LoadIcon(hDllInst, MAKEINTRESOURCE( put resource number here ));

The resource number is between 1 and 238 for shell32.dll version 6.0

Use DrawIcon() to draws in the client area of the window.

Use SetClassLong() with GCL_HICON to change an existing window icon.

I am not an MFC user myself.
But as far as I understand them.
I would try or guess around the following:

CImageList::Create CImageList::Add (icon previously found)
CToolBar::GetToolBarCtrl
CToolBarCtrl::SetImageList

I already answered that question. Didn't I ?
