Windows® 8.1 Apps with HTML5 and JavaScript Unleashed

Creating a Share Source

The My Notes app acts a share source by enabling you to share notes with other apps. For example, you might want to share notes by email or (don’t ask me why) Facebook or Twitter.

Here’s how it works. You select a note from the list of notes, click the Share charm, and select the app that you want to share the note with (Figure 13.3). If you select the Mail app then a new email message is created with the note (Figure 13.4).
