Hi there,

I wish to implement a signature capture functionality to my vb6
project. What I ideally wish to do is allow users of a tablet pc to
draw their signature and then save this as an image in a .bmp file. I
have spent a lot of time looking into this and just can't find a way
to do it. Does anyone have any ideas of where to start?

Any help is hugely appreciated.

Thanks,
Suzie Corbett

First stop is to download the Tablet PC SDK for your O/S. Here is the URL
for XP. (links to others are present)http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=B46D4B83-A82...

It contains both dotNet and COM components. Most of the examples and
documentation are dotNet, but you can quickly figure it out.

Great, thanks for your help ralph



I have successfully placed my image into a bmp file. However my
requirements have now altered and I need to place it into a Sybase
database. Does anyone know what data type I need to place the image
into in order to pass it to a database? Sybase provides a data type
"image" which should be fine. I've tried writing the bmp into a binary
variable however when entering this to the Database I am being told
that there are illegal characters and therefore it will not insert.
Any one have any ideas?

Thanks for your help,
Suzie
