Thanks Philip , GetIconRef is what i am looking for.

I get be very surprised the lack of documentantion for this function
by Apple , it only gives one example and nothing more about it :

GetIconRef(kOnSystemDisk, kSystemIconsCreator, kHelpIcon, &iconRef);

If i were Apple i dedicate at least one documentation page about this
function , give all icons groups names and the icons names presents in
these groups , also i show the result icon in documentation.

Things like this , make developer life easy.

Thanks Philip.

It is part of:

#import <ApplicationServices/ApplicationServices.h>

but seeing as you're using Cocoa you'll probably want to do this in
Terminal:

        locate '/System/Library/CoreServices/*.icns'


Other icons seen commonly on OS X are scattered throughout the system such as in kext and application packages. I use GetIconRef() wherever possible because then I don't have to think about updating my icons to look like the latest system.

Actually, it would be nice if one day the system was better organized
for icons:

/System/Library/Icons
/Library/Icons
~/Library/Icons #for overriding system icons
/Applications/MyApp/Contents/Resources/Icons
