If you want to use the actual size of the icon then the static control should have the SS_REALSIZEIMAGE style. Or is the problem related to the view in the Dialog Editor?

It seems to be the problem : I did some tests (Win32, not MFC, VS 2019, Windows 10 1909) and I cannot display the right 16*16 icon in the Dialog Editor, although it is displayed correctly at run-rime (I tried to modify the .RC...):
![]()
Its a bit awkward but a placeholder control (static) could be used in the dialog editor for positioning and at runtime when handling WM_INITDIALOG reposition the icon and delete the placeholder.

Visual Studio (C++) dialog editor is very weak! Please send feed back
