Hi Charlie,

I should think your icon probably starts off as a Resource? If so, then this:

DIM iconRect.8
DIM icnHdl&
DIM iconID%, x%, y%
'
x% = ?
y% = ??
iconID% = ???
'
SETRECT(iconRect,x%,y%,x%+32,y%+32)
icnHdl& = FN GETCICON(iconID%)
FN PLOTCICON(iconRect,icnHdl&)

should work; otherwise do the same thing, but provide icnHdl& directly as a
handle to your bitmap in memory. Of course you could also place the bitmap
into a resource before you used it too.

Hope this works for you.
