Did you see the code I posted previously? It is further down this thread. Following that should make it work.

Thank you Shenn



I did see that and that worked if I use inkedit, but inkedit only takes input form the mouse.

When I insert the Sigplus OLE control. The OLE will not take any input from the pen pad.

No, if you are using a Signature Pad, you will be using the OLE control that should be provided by the drivers for whatever control you go with.

Hi Marco,



I'll put the code here so others can see it as well.  





//Opens the Signature Capture Window



Open(w_sign)



 



/* The code below is the OK Button code on the "w_sign" Window */



 



//Stores the signature (I've discovered that the Signature Files I store are not very large, so I can store them in a String.  You could easily change it to a blob



//if your needs are larger



ls_signature = ole_SigPlus1.object.SigString



 



//Preparing the signature to be saved



ole_SigPlus1.object.ImageFileFormat = 0 //0=bmp, 4=jpg, 6=tif



ole_SigPlus1.object.ImageXSize = 368 //width image in px



ole_SigPlus1.object.ImageYSize = 50 //height image in px



ole_SigPlus1.object.ImagePenWidth = 10 //image pen width in px



ole_SigPlus1.object.JustifyMode = 5 //zoom signature



 



//Saves the Signature as an image (I do this so I can display the signature anywhere in the program using a Picture Control)



ole_SigPlus1.object.WriteImageFile("C:\_APPS\TaDTP\issuer_sig.bmp")



 



//Closes the Signature Capture window

CloseWithReturn(parent, ls_signature)



 



/* End of the OK Button code on the "w_sign" Window */





 





//Error checking 



if (Message.DoubleParm = -1) then return



 



//Obtains the returned Signature (Stored as a string, but you can do blobs.  Blobs would require a little different code for saving).



ls_signature = Message.StringParm



 



//Sets the Signature into a string column (Saved by DW Update as this is a string)



this.SetItem(row, "issuer_signature", ls_signature)



 



//Puts the written image file into the Picture Control



this.object.p_issuer.FileName = "C:\_APPS\TaDTP\issuer_sig.bmp"

thank you!

Thanks Michael. It is a good starting point. You wouldn't happen to know if Bruce Armstrong's presentation is available anywhere online would you? I haven't been able to find it anywhere.

Hi John,



I was talking about digital signing. I see other answer on electronically collecting a "normal" signature. That is certainly possible. InkEdit is one possible answer. When that is what you look for I'm sure the other answer and its comments is a great resource.
