I am trying to incorporate an electronic signature using the Topaz Systems signature pad into my Web Application. Everything appears to work within Internet Explorer, as the signature pad uses Active X to access the pad plugged into the USB port. My Web Application however is relying on Chrome so I am attempting to get this to cooperate within Chrome.
I have tried unsuccessfully to use the Active X for Chrome plugin Active X for Chrome
The plugin itself appears to be working and there is output to the Console however I am unable to sign the box.
I am currently just trying to work with the simple demos found at
Topaz Site Demos
Any help or direction as to how I can accomplish this would be greatly appreciated!
Topaz released a plugin that will work for Firefox, Chrome, Safari, Opera, and Internet Explorer browsers. I tested it in chrome and it works.
The following is a link to the article: http://www.topazsystems.com/news/SigPlusWeb.htm
As of now, the only way to get a Topaz signature pad working in chrome is to create an applet. Here is an example:
import java.applet.Applet;
import java.awt.GridLayout;
import java.awt.event.WindowAdapter;
import java.awt.event.WindowEvent;
import java.beans.Beans;
import javax.comm.CommDriver;
import com.topaz.sigplus.SigPlus;
import com.topaz.sigplus.SigPlusEvent0;
import com.topaz.sigplus.SigPlusListener;
public class SigPlusAppletDemo extends Applet {
public void init() {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
super.init();
SigPlusAppletDemo demo = new SigPlusAppletDemo();
}
public void start() {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
super.start();
}
/**
*
*/
SigPlus sigObj = null;
public SigPlusAppletDemo()
{
try
{
ClassLoader cl = (com.topaz.sigplus.SigPlus.class).getClassLoader();
sigObj = (SigPlus)Beans.instantiate( cl, "com.topaz.sigplus.SigPlus" );
setLayout( new GridLayout( 1, 1 ) );
add( sigObj );
sigObj.addSigPlusListener( new SigPlusListener()
{
public void handleTabletTimerEvent( SigPlusEvent0 evt )
{
}
public void handleNewTabletData( SigPlusEvent0 evt )
{
}
public void handleKeyPadData( SigPlusEvent0 evt )
{
}
} );
setSize( 500, 100 );
show();
sigObj.setTabletModel( "SignatureGemLCD1X5" );
sigObj.setTabletComPort( "HID1" );
sigObj.setTabletState( 1 );
}
catch ( Exception e )
{
return;
}
}
}
