Looks good so i would use ink picture to capture the signature, how would i best save it, would i use the saveink or save it as a picture , if i saved ink - i use sqlanywhere 16 - what data type would i save it to ?
regards
Andrew
You should save the "Ink" part as that will be the actual signature vs the picture which could come from your tablet's camera for example. The "ink" - like the picture - would be stored in a Blob DB column (Long Binary in S.A.). Thus using the UpdateBlob and Select Blob DML statements.
Tip: Another alternative is to use the InkPicture control based DataWindow. The the DWO will perform the Blob DML commands for you.
