hi all,
i have included the code below for what i am trying to do. we have a customer that wants to have a signature captured and we were thinking of using a table pc. i am working off 2k for development. i got the code from below from the vfp website. i have the code running up the form perfectly but i have two problems, and i think that they are both related. 1 is when i try to save what i have written on the form i get the error "Unknown member INKOVERLAY", i can write on the screen using my mouse. another problem is that the writable area covers the entire form, there is a procedure that is supposed to limit that area called SetRectangle but at the end of it there is a line "***ThisForm.inkoverlay.SetWindowInputRectangle(oInkRectangle)" that causes a problem giving the error message exactly as above, i have commented it out so the form will run up. this line could be in the wrong place. any help is much appreciated on this.
