Linux/Windows thin client; runtime 10.51

I need to display any of a series of bitmaps in a grid cell.  I am using WBITMAP-LOAD (I have also tried WBITMAP-LOAD-IMAGES) to load a .bmp file, and I get a handle to the object.  However, these bitmaps will not display in grid cells if the runtime is thin client (if not thin client, it works).  I can display the bitmaps if the grid is not active.

The grid is an active-x control called #grid.

    Good morning, Mr @Ken Schwartz.

    The ACUCOBOL-GT Grid graphical control allows you to display images in the cells natively, without the need for a third-party ActiveX.

    Please, have a look at the documentation for the BITMAP* Special Properties:

    Home > ACUCOBOL-GT extend V10.5.1 > ACUCOBOL-GT Version 10.5.1 Documentation Set
    ACUCOBOL-GT User Interface Programming
    Control Types Reference > Control Types > Grid > Special Properties

    Starting with release 11.0.0 you can also include other native controls such as radio-buttons and check-boxes:

    If you require further assistance with your #grid ActiveX, please consider to submit a Case to the Support portal:

    The local Technical Support engineers will help you with the analysis of the situation.

    Regards.
