Thanks, @m_magalhaes
yes my code is inside the drawcell() method.
I didn' have any luck with c4d.gui.GetIcon(lIconID)
but i got c4d.bitmaps.InitResourceBitmap(resource_id)
working.
here are my 3 lines of code that got me an icon.
ICON_SIZE = drawinfo["height"]
bmp = c4d.bitmaps.InitResourceBitmap(12098)
geUserArea.DrawBitmap(bmp, drawinfo["xpos"], drawinfo["ypos"], ICON_SIZE, ICON_SIZE, 0, 0, bmp.GetBw(), bmp.GetBh(), c4d.BMP_ALLOWALPHA)
kind regards
