Have you done that component with Visual Studio ? If so, you have to override the component's Icon property and return an icon from the project resources.

If you have a c# script component, than it would be best to create an user object out of that, then you can assign it an icon as well.

For the case of a scriptable component: I usually just drag and drop a 24x24 png on it.

i've done the component with visual studio

i know there is "protected override System.Drawing.Bitmap Icon"

I dont think i have Resources folder

I have the 24X24 png, but where is the project resources?

I wrote my custom component in VB. I am using the "Bitmap.FromFile" function. Here is my code for overriding the Icon property:

Protected Overrides ReadOnly Property Icon() As Bitmap

    Get
        Return Bitmap.FromFile(Directory)
    End Get
End Property

Is it possible to do this in a python script/component?

If drag+dropping a 24x24 png file onto the component doesn't work then it's probably not possible.
