I've looked all over the net and can't seem to find a standard way of including a wxIcon in my wxWidgets app that actually works! I've tried converting the icon to an XPM and including that I've also tried loading the bitmap but whatever I do it seems to compile but the icon never appears!

Is this the main icon for your application that you're talking about here? If so, you just need to have it as the first icon resource in your .rc file, e.g.:
mainicon ICON "myapp.ico"
If, on the other hand, you're setting an icon specifically on some other frame, then it should be enough to just set it via wxTopLevelWindow::SetIcon.
If neither of these works, perhaps you could post a sample of your code that isn't working?

thanks for the reply I'll give it a go when I get a chance - and its the icon for the main wxFrame which I'm trying to add the icon to.

If you are trying this on Windows make sure the icon is 32x32 pixels. All other sizes weren't being rendered at all...
