Digital Signature

[EddieLee]

Hi All,

Does anyone have an experience working with digital signature? I would like to have a field where users can manually draw their signature in that box/field and then upload it to the database as an image. Will start by doing on the android platform first !

Any idea how to start?

Thanks !

You could start by looking at the pen and the brush tools.

With the image (fake field) for signatures having this sort of script:

Code: Select all

on mouseEnter
   choose brush tool
   set the brushColor to red
end mouseEnter

Take a look at the "Signature" widget, that is what you are looking for!

Hi richmond,

So by using the pen and brush tools it will allow the user to “draw” in the field? So what does it count as? A text or an image?
And also what is the difference with mouseup and mouseEnter?

Thanks!

Hi Klaus, long time no see! I have messaged you on Skype but I guess you are not using it anymore? How does the signature widget work in term of the scripting part and what does it return as? How does it look like because tried to search on livecode wiki but couldn’t found it. Is it also only Available for indy license and above?

Thanks!

Hi Eddie,

Hi Klaus, long time no see! I have messaged you on Skype but I guess you are not using it anymore?

as I told you, your are/were the only reason for me to start SKYPE at all.
And since i did not hear from you for a long time, I did not start Skype anymore.
Next time please just send an email, thank you.

Please try that widget!

It is "only" supplying the neccessary means to write a signature -> "image" and pencil.
But does it automatically, then you can export this as an image or print to PDF and do whatever needs to be done with that.

Just curious: where on the web can one find the documentation for the signature widget?

[Klaus]

Good question, Richard!

In principle, that widget is self-explainig, create it and start signing.
But a TAD more documentation would definitvely not hurt, same for some other widgets.

I do a lot of reading on mobile devices, where no IDE is available. I'm probably not alone.

And also what is the difference with mouseup and mouseEnter?

mouseUp is sent when the end-user releases the dominant button on their mouse,

mouseEnter is sent when an end-user moves their pointer inwith the object that contains the mouseEnter script.

This is "baby stuff" that can be readily worked out by a quick look in the built-in Documentation.

Hi Klaus,

Thanks and noted, I will email you next time instead! Any idea what the signature widget looks like? Can’t find it on the items panel...

Thanks!

Hi Richmond,

Noted, because I’ve never use mouseEnter before so I just wanna check before I get things wrong. So for the pen and brush tool, what would the field contain at the end?

Thanks!

Come on, there are no THAT much controls in the tools palette!

It looks like a pencil over a rectangle with rounded corners.
