Parse the string and get the values in the last two positions, 02, 7F is
an example,
Swap those two values 7F02 and use that as the parameter to LoadIcon, leave
the instance number null. That will get the predefined icons and cursors
used by windows, see msdn for a list. The other icons from clarion you
might be able to get with the value and instance number but I have never
tried.
