SAMPLE: How to Store a Signature in a 1-BPP Bitmap (313443)

SUMMARY

The Sigcap.exe sample file demonstrates how to use GDI functions to store and load a 1-BPP (Bits-Per-Pixel) bitmap. This is especially useful when you want to store a handwritten signature as a bitmap so that it can be viewed by other programs that have already been implemented to display bitmaps.

The sample code is specific to the Pocket PC or Microsoft Pocket PC 2002 platforms, primarily because of the UI and shell specific functions, however, the code that does the bulk of the work of saving and loading a BMP file can be applied to high-performance computing (HPC) or custom Windows CE platforms that support the GDI functions that are demonstrated.
