Hello, I have a canvas (40x40) into which I want to draw a cautionIcon. according to the the docs, this code in the paint event of the canvas should work: g.drawCautionIcon(0,0) yet nothing gets drawn, both with retina enabled and disabled. So I tried: g.DrawRect 0,0,me.Width,me.Heigh)//to see where the icon will actually be drawn dim p as new Picture(me.Width,me.Height) p.Graphics.DrawCautionIcon(0,0)//noteIcon, stopIcon g.DrawPicture p,0,0 Now the icon is drawn, but at the bottom of the canvas, where only more or less half of it can be seen. The same happens if I create a new picture and assign it as backdrop to the canvas. Pretty sure I’m missing something. Suggestions will be welcome. Thanks. ---

There’s a feedback report for this. If you have the Retina Kit, you can replace this function. ---

which version are you using ? 2016r1 and 1.1 have a bug in how they handle this From what I can tell it seems it should be fixed for a future release ---

Here’s the case I filed. \<[https://xojo.com/issue/43395](https://xojo.com/issue/43395)\> Sorry it’s titled “43395 - g.drawStopIcon no longer works” but it covers the caution triangle and the note icon. ---

Sorry Sam, I did not see your first post. Meanwhile I worked around the problem by using SystemIcon.Caution (macosLib). ---
