Notes

Notes are taken within a "PostIt Note" and are of text input (letters and numbers). Individual note backgrounds can be set to a pictures taken from the webcam.

Login

Integration with Windows Platfrom

Before each function is called feature detection is done to dermine if the Windows namespace is available.

if (typeof Windows != "undefined") {
	//Call the function for platfrom integration
}

Camera Capture

function winRTCapture (divID) {
  //Initialize windows media camera capture
  var captureUI = new Windows.Media.Capture.CameraCaptureUI();
  
  //Set the format of the picture that's going to be captured (.png or .jpg)
  captureUI.photoSettings.format = Windows.Media.Capture.CameraCaptureUIPhotoFormat.png;

  //Pop up the camera UI to take a picture
  captureUI.captureFileAsync(Windows.Media.Capture.CameraCaptureUIMode.photo).then(function (capturedItem) {
     if (capturedItem) {
        //Do stuff with the image
     }
     else {
        //Taking a picture has failed
     }
  });
}
