Capture Handwritten Signature

Post by tremdaniel »

Does anyone have any suggestions for capturing a handwritten signature? I'm thinking that I could use a PictureBox with a click event. We'll be using tablets; so I'd like for it to capture a signature in a set field/control. Thanks guys.

Since this is a scripting question I moved it to the PowerShell GUI Forum.

You are probably better off using a true .NET application instead of using PowerShell.

You could look at the following for an idea of how to make a painting app:

The only thing I know of that does what you want out of the box is the WPF InkCanvas control. You can use the ElementHost Control Set to embed it within your GUI. Note: this method also brings up a lot of complications and requires some WPF know how.

Thanks for moving it. I didn't know where I should have posted; since I'm hoping to integrate this within a Powershell Studio form. Thanks for the info. I'll check it out.
