I'm also very new to programming Palms is C and would also like to see some working example of how to capture signatures. I tried to follow Aaron's suggestion of searching the archives, but with this Yahoo search engine it is not easy to find something in the archives. My searches for more info on this on Palm's web site also did not make me any wiser.
Up to now I used the NSBasic compiler. It has a very convenient way of capturing signatures. Basically you just create a gadget and then you can do things like startSignatureCapture or displaySignature. The actual signatures bitmaps is saved as a string so it is easy to save and recall in databases. Now if someone can confirm that this is possible in my new CW9 that I just received yesterday... it would make me very happy. Christy, in one of your other messages about this same topic you mentioned "signature.c". Is searched everywhere, but can not find which file you are referring to. Can you please enlighten me?
