Is there a way to do signature with laptop's touchpad?

[Nicky]

hi, all
Our program on handheld supports signature. And I am moving the code to
laptop. But it seems impossible to support signature without other hardware
device like "Writing Pad". Does anyone know if it is possible to do signature
with the laptop's touchpad?

Thanks

Nicky,

How do you get the signature in the first place? Surely, there is some
sort of API that will give you similar results, no.

Why not make it general, and just capture mouse movements?

Hi,

What you are asking is similar to just follow the mouse and interprete that
as a signature, just take any code that do that.

Cheers,

Thank you Ignacio and Nicholas!
Yes, I think this is the only way we can do. Following the mouse's movement
and save it as signature. But if you try to do a signature in mspaint with
laptop's touchpad directly, it is very hard. It seems touchpad only care
about your finger's movement. It does not know the start point, end point.
