Creating the Object and Class for Signature Capture

Use Siebel Tools to create a DLL object, then create a class that refers to the DLL object. Controls on the signature control applet can refer to this class. Before you create these items, you must find particular information from the iToolsMFC.inf file.

This task is a step in Roadmap for Implementing Signature Capture.

To create a DLL object and class for signature capture

1. Extract the iToolsMFC.inf file from the iTools.cab file.
2. In a text editor, search the iToolsMFC.inf file for the [cicink.ocx] section.
3. From the [cicink.ocx] section in the iToolsMFC.inf file, note the information in the following table.

   Property Value	Description
   Class ID	This value is contained in the clsid entry. A sample clsid entry follows: clsid={EFB7D763-97A3-11CF-AE19-00608CEADE00}
   Filename and version number	This value is contained in the File Version entry. A sample File Version entry follows: FileVersion=2,60,0,1331

4. In Siebel Tools, create a new DLL object.
5. Enter the Code or Class Id property value for the DLL object using the Class ID from the iToolsMFC.inf file.

   Use the following syntax to enter the class ID string as the Code or Class Id property value:

   clsid:number_from_clsid_section

   A sample Code or Class Id property value follows:

   clsid:EFB7D763-97A3-11CF-AE19-00608CEADE00

   NOTE:  Omit the curly braces ({ }) that are present in the clsid entry in the iToolsMFC.inf file from the string that you enter as the Code or Class Id property value.

6. Enter the File Name property for the DLL object using the filename and version number from the iToolsMFC.inf file.

   Use the following syntax to enter the filename and version number string as the File Name property value as follows:

   iTools.cab#Version=number_from_FileVersion_section

   A sample File Name property value follows:

   iTools.cab#Version=2,60,0,1331

7. Create a new class with the properties in the following table.

   Property	Comments
   DLL	Enter the name of the DLL that you created in Step 4.
   Object Type	Select ActiveX Control.
