External pen

[Moorzee]

Anyone have any ideas how I could capture a persons signature using an external pen device?

I'm well stumped.

Cheers.

Pen-devices operates as a system mouse (regular pointer device), so you handle its input as it were a mouse. When this device is pressed down you can detect a MouseDown event, moving is detected in MouseMove event, and release in MouseUp event. To capture a signature drawn you can use a picturebox as canvas and draw when "mouse is down" and moves, this can be several series of drawing so there should be a 'submit' button when user approves of the signature and a 'clear' button to try again.
