Signature capture

You can add a control of type Signature capture to a form.
For a signature capture control, also define the control event procedure. A control event procedure has one or more actions that are done if the signature is captured and the resulting document is created.
If your company uses different types of mobile devices, controls can require a different layout for each device.
