Create resource file in Visual Studio and in your .pro file specify it:

Qt Code:

Switch view

win32 {
    RC_FILE = icons/winicon.rc
}

win32 {
    RC_FILE = icons/winicon.rc
}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode

Here's .rc file sample from my project for you, if you do not want to use VS:

Qt Code:

Switch view

#include "resource.h"
