Printing Electronic Signatures
Hi,
I have recently purchased Fast Reports 4 vcl for delphi and have been impressed with how easy it is to use. I am running on D7 pro and have come across a problem that I cannot work out.
I have developed a report using bands which calls from ADO/SQLDB - it is running fine without any problems. The last column I need to present to the user is the Signature which is recorded using an electronic touch pad - (more info: http://www.topazsystems.com/Software/index.htm). Once a user has wrote their signature it is stored as TEXT ((nvchar(max), null) within the database, it is not stored as a graphic.
I use the following functions:
SignatureStr := SigPlus1.SigString; // reads the data from the signature tablet as a string.
DataModule1.JobTable.FieldByName('MySignature').AsString := SignatureStr; //stores the signature in the database
Usually if I want to display the signature string to the user as an electronic signature I use the provided ActiveX control which handles the conversion from string to signature display.
My question is how do I get this signature text information to display as a signature within the Fast Report?
I hope I have provided all the required information and thank you in advance for assistance.
