1. Introduction
Thank you for choosing IntegriSign, the most comprehensive signature

software in the market. IntegriSign gives you the features and functionality to
Sign and Secure electronic documents/e-mails/forms of any COM compatible
application, using powerful authentication tools. Electronic signature capture
is done through ePad device.
2. Core Component (esCore.dll )
IntegriSign Standard Product + SDK methods, properties and events are

exposed as part of IntegriSign ActiveX Component (esCore.dll). For an
application to use IntegriSign SDK methods, the application needs to refer
esCore.dll available in the IntegriSign Desktop Installation directory.
Following are the properties, methods and events that can be used to enable
an application with IntegriSign Capture functionality.
2.1 Properties
2.1.1 HashType
Description
This property has to be set depending on the type of hashing that needs to be
carried out in the host application.
Values
0 - Standard - Hashing is done using standard built-in IntegriSign Hash

utility.
1 - Custom – To perform custom hashing i.e. only selected fields in an

application are to be authenticated.
2 - None – No content hashing to be implemented in the host application.

2.1.2 HashData
Description
This property has to be set with the data that has to be authenticated. These
values are taken from the present container viz. a form or document. To
implement the custom content integrity functionality this property has to be
set before the signature capturing process. This should also be set wherever
you need to check the authenticity of the content. Typically this should be
called before using the following methods.
1 StartSign
2 OpenSign
3 VerifyDocument
Note: This property is effective only when the HashType property is set to
Custom (1).
2.2 Events
The developer may handle/override the following events from

IntegriSign Component.
DblClick
MouseDown
MouseMove
MouseUp
