Hi

Using build 207

I am doing a project for the technicians to go around schiool with a tablet PC running the web pages I want to generate, the idea is fast logging of numbers of laptops used, chargers used etc.

No problem with that, BUT, I have a field of comments, I would like to be able to save input from the field as it is drawn on screen, so if the user writes a few words, it would save a picture of the words, rather than using the text input device.

Remember, these devices have NO keyboard, just a stylus.

If the user makes a little sketch, I would like to be able to save the sketch.

I assume the field will have to be a blob or medium blob field, but how do I capture the input from the screen on the page?

All help and suggestions very kindly received.

Cheers

I guess there is some kind of API on Tablet PC that allows you to save graffiti to file or to clipboard. File can be uploaded to BLOB field. I don't think you have other options. Draw a picture, save it to file, upload file to the database.
