Remarks

If CapDisplay is true, formName is used to find information about the form or data screen to be displayed.

The format and features of each signature capture device’s form/data screen varies widely and is often built with proprietary tools. Therefore, this key’s data and additional values contain information that varies by service object. Typically, the registry key’s data is set to a form/data screen file name, and extra registry values and data are set as needed to control its display.

After displaying the form or data screen, when applicable, the signature capture stylus is enabled.

BeginCapture may cause a PosControlException to be thrown with the following ErrorCode:
