hand written signature control in VFP6 or VFP9

[xMadDog]

Hi guys. Can anyone tell me if a hand written signature control exists for VFP9 ?
I want to add a hand written signature to documents and i'm looking for a control to capture the signature with the mouse.

Thanks and regards

Allan

I use a bitmap captured by a scan, or from a tablet and put it either in a general field or save it by reference to the file name.

Allan,

I can't imagine how you can sign your name with a mouse. Surely, some sort of stylus arrangement would make more sense?

Hi Mike

I've done it with a mouse, but it's difficult...

You're probably looking for a digitizing tablet (

with an API that you can use.

Although, with the emergence of the tablet PC, where handwritten input is built-in, a separate device seems so, so, so ..... yesterday. ;-)

I recently moved to a new home and the mover's estimator showed up with a tablet PC to take inventory. At the end of his process his app calculated a precise estimate and he handed the tablet to me for signature. Pretty slick!
