Integer. Returns 1 for success and a negative integer for failure.
The GetDataAsRTF function returns text data from a Signature control in PWI format in a blob or a Unicode string. Only text data, such as text entered using the SIP, is retrieved.
The following example gets text data from a Signature control in RTF format as a blob and as a string and writes the RTF to two separate files:
blob lblb_rtf
string ls_rtf
integer li_file, li_rtn
// Get data as a blob
li_rtn = sig_1.GetDataAsRTF(lblb_rtf)
sle_1.text = string(li_rtn)
li_file = FileOpen("\My Documents\blob.rtf", &
StreamMode!, Write!, LockWrite!, Replace!)
FileWrite( li_file, lblb_rtf )
FileClose( li_file )
// Get data as a string
li_rtn = sig_1.GetDataAsRTF(ls_rtf)
sle_1.text += ", " + String(li_rtn)
li_file = FileOpen("\My Documents\string.rtf", &
StreamMode!, Write!, LockWrite!, Replace!)
FileWrite( li_file, ls_rtf )
FileClose( li_file )
