Hi All-

 

Can anyone tell me if it's possible to use a signature pad for a desktop computer with the pen input control? 

 

Thanks,

 

Michael

    Hi @mmarinelli21 ,

    Do you want to use a signature pad for a desktop computer to control the Pen Input control within your app?

     

    The Pen Input control is a built-in control within PowerApps app, there is no way to connect it to a external signature pad device. If you want to use a signature pad for a desktop computer to control the Pen Input control within your app, I afraid that there is no way to achieve your needs in PowerApps currently.

     

    If you would like this feature to be added in PowerApps, please submit an idea to PowerApps Ideas Forum:

    Best regards,

    I'm curious if anyone knows if there has been an update to this or not? We're looking at using an external signature pad as an input to the pen input control within a canvas app. Is that possible yet?
