It would be great if the ICON configuration variable could use an icon that is more than a 16 color icon.  The current restriction of only being able to use a 16 color icon makes it hard to have a good looking icon on current Windows systems.  It would be great if it could support True Color Alpha Channel (32-bit color) icons.

Boa dia a todos, por favor estou tentando fazer uma assinatura digital em um XML, e esta dando super certo com a ajuda do exemples que Chris Glazier e Altair Borges me enviaram, porem esta assinando com o algoritimo RSA-SHA1 mas eu preciso assinar com algoritimo RSA-SHA256, eu achei um exemplo que eu acredite que seja o que eu preciso conforme esta abaixo em C#, mas não estou conseguindo converter o Visual COBOL for Visual Studio, se alguém conseguir me ajudar ficarei muito agradecido.   atenciosamente   Renato Soares Vieira   using System; using System.Security.Cryptography; class RSASample { static void Main() { try { //Create a new instance of RSACryptoServiceProvider. using (RSACryptoServiceProvider rsa = new RSACryptoServiceProvider()) { //The hash to sign. byte[] hash; using (SHA256 sha256 = SHA256.Create()) { byte[] data = new byte[] { 59, 4, 248, 102, 77, 97, 142, 201, 210, 12, 224, 93, 25, 41, 100, 197, 213, 134, 130, 135 }; hash = sha256.ComputeHa

Hi,  I have a POS application that we are running on a Windows 10 Tablet and need to incorporate a signature capture feature.   Does anyone have any suggestions on how to go about doing this without the need for a signature pad device?   We want the user to sign on the touch screen and save the signature image to a .jpg file format (preferably, but not absolutely required that it is jpg).   Looking around on the web, I find some options for active-x controls that I may can plug in and use.   I would greatly appreciate any input or guidance from anyone who is familiar with signature capture on touch screen devices. Thank you!#extend#AcuCobol#COBOL#ActiveX

I've been playing with creating a text file which is imported into an Excel spread sheet. I get good results when the spread sheet in empty but importing to an existing spread sheet(which is what I want) gets totally unexpected results. My question is, are there Excel commands that can say "place this data at this location?". My theory is that with such commands I can update specific locations with the extracted data. Thanks John...    Looks like I should add more to my question. The question is about using text to update an Excel spread sheet, sense no one answered I suspect what I want can't be done with a text file. Are there other (simple?) techniques that can accomplish updating specific data in a spread sheet?   

Hi all   We have now AcuToWeb up and running in a single program. Over all, we find AcuToWeb to slow for the full package, but it is okay for a single program even though we hope that performance could be a little bit better a long the way.    But now to my question. Our customer want his customer to sign an agreement on the tablet running AcutoWeb. Is that do able, and does anybody have an idea how to do that.   Best Regards Steen 

Hi all :-) Does anyone have a COBOL example of a user validation in Active Directory they´d like to share? Regards Steen

Hi all, Has anybody used RMNet to implement an OAuth 2 solution. I am specifically trying access Audatex Audconnect solution for exporting assessments. I can get the authorization login to work using the browser control but the return post opens a new web page which I don't really want to see but I can glean the token from it by inquiring on the web browser control. However, having got the token I then need to post requests using httppost/httpget using the returned token to setup a request for an export and return the endpoint for getting the assessment data. All the posts after the authorization have Curl command equivalent's but I cannot get any of them to work. A simple one is to find out who you are when connected and the curl command is curl -X GET --header 'Accept: application/json' --header 'Authorization: Bearer 'returned token' 'audaconnect-demo.ax-aee.co.uk/.../whoami' which works from the command line when I run it. I h

Hello I have a problem with the event MSG-GOTO-CELL-DRAG (not thin client). When I use the next code it works when I drag a row down in a grid slowly. When I drag the row down very fast it seems to loose the MSG-GOTO-CELL-DRAG event because INTEGER is not being added.   WHEN MSG-BEGIN-DRAG         MOVE 0 TO INTEGER WHEN MSG-GOTO-CELL-DRAG         ADD 1 TO INTEGER WHEN MSG-END-DRAG         DISPLAY INTEGER   I tried runtime 9.22 and 10.20#Grid

HI All I have got the 10.1.0 Dev Suite and I have been led to believe that the 32bit version of this comes with the Acusql precompiler Presumably to compile a cobol source program I will need the 10.1.0 compiler to pick up the precompiler ?   I have 10.1.1 runtime and but I only have the 64bit version licenses not the 32bit.  If I have compiled as per stated above does that mean I MUST execute the 32bit runtime?  I  purchased a 32 bit runtime license for AcuSQL last June 2017 but Micro Focus have been unable to supply such a license.  I get a delivery notice but when I go to the website to "email summary" I get message "This order does not contain any License Key information"  Has anyone seen that before?  The support people in Sydney do not seem to know how to get round this.   Would I be right in thinking that : a) I need 32bit runtime and 32 bit licenses b) I need the 32bit ACUSQL runtime and license c) when I compile using

I've a web browser control which is used to display a image when I do the http call.   I am wondering if there is a way to save this image off and resize it or store so I can do the call and get the back and print both sides at one time.    I can print one side at a time but if possible I would like to do both at the same time.   I also have some calls where the image comes back upside down so I would like to save it and rotate it if possible to display right side up.  Would anyone have any suggestions on how or if I could do this.    Thank you.

Hi  How do you handle automatic update of the Acucobol thin client.  We are using ATC files, and the ATC files is associated with the thin client we are using right now (10.1)  When we set the normal port to the next version 10.2  the user are prompted if they would upgrade, and then the download runs and succeeds. But it does not change the association to the acuthin client before. that means that every time the user clicks his ATC file they are asked to upgrade.  Has anybody found a solution for this   Best Regards Steen
