The following example gets unformatted data from a Signature control as a bitmap and writes it to a file. It also displays the bitmap in a Picture control:
blob lblb_bmp
integer li_file, li_rtn
li_rtn = sig_1.GetDataAsBitMap(lblb_bmp)
sle_1.text = string(li_rtn)
li_file = FileOpen("\My Documents\testi.bmp", &

FileWrite( li_file, lblb_bmp )
FileClose( li_file )
p_1.setpicture(lblb_bmp)
