Hey ,

We are developing in Acucobol Extend 8.1 and are wondering if anyone has ever used this product of Mindfusion in Cobol programming ?

I am not certain of whether .NET controls can be used under Cobol. At least some kind of ActiveX or .NET interoperability needs to be available for Cobol in order to do this.

This topic might shed some light on this: http://www.alchemysolutions.com/blog/Tutorial-Program-WinForms

Meppy

5.5 Calling .NET from COBOL
Use ACUCOBOL-GT's .NET bridging interface, "AcuToNet.dll", if you want to include .NET assemblies in your COBOL programs. This interface gives you access to .NET assemblies, both graphical and non-graphical, including user controls and Windows forms controls. You do not need to know object-oriented programming or the NET Framework.

This interface includes a graphical utility known as the .NET Definitions Generator, or "NETDEFGEN.exe". This utility allows you to view and select .NET assemblies for translation to a COBOL COPY file. COBOL programmers already familiar with the DISPLAY, CREATE, MODIFY, INQUIRE, and DESTROY statements can immediately write COBOL programs that consume .NET assemblies.

At run time, "AcuToNet.dll" starts the .NET CLR, loads and executes the requisite .NET components, and returns the results to the COBOL program.

That should work or not?

One of the things that Acucobol-GT's .NET interoperability has problems with is using STORED_OBJECTS, and I don't know if the Mindfusion scheduler is making use of them.
