USING CUSTOM ACCEPT/CLEAR BUTTONS
To add your own custom icons for the Accept and Clear actions in the Signature Capture control, leverage a click action with a JavaScript event. Follow the instructions presented below.
- Make sure the Hide default Accept/Clear actions option is selected in the options for the control.
- Add two icons, for instance, within a section containing the Signature Capture control - each representing the Accept and Clear actions.
- Open the Cell Properties dialog for each icon and add an action of the Run Script type.
- Enter the following JavaScript function name in double quotes, for the action representing the Accept icon:
- pega.ui.signature.acceptSignature
- Enter the following JavaScript function name in double quotes, for the action representing the Clear icon:
- pega.ui.signature.clearSignature
- Make sure that for each function two parameters are defined: signature name and category - to uniquely identify a Signature Capture control on a screen.
