OneNote MX developer API?

Question

Hi,

I'm building an add-on for OneNote desktop. For that I can easily hook into the content via the COM API.

If I wanted to create a Windows Store App to do the same thing, namely interact with the OneNote content and do something else with it, what are my options?

I could rely on a desktop component that queries the desktop version and then displays content but this would (obviously) only work if Office is installed. On a Surface I can't rely on that so is there a way to query local OneNote content if the user only has OneNote MX installed?

Actually can a Windows Store app even use COM to interact with assemblies that are installed via the desktop?

Thanks

Answer 1

WIndows Store apps doesnt support such model and impossible the hook in store apps.

Thanks for the reply

By this you mean that it's impossible to hook into other store apps?

What about interaction with desktop assemblies? If I wrote a store app in C# could I reference local COM assemblies, like the desktop OneNote COM API? (assuming office was installed of course)

Answer 3

was just getting the list; this is the list of supported system32 and com calls: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-US/library/windows/apps/br205757.aspx

other calls are not allowed. so calls to dll onenote com not going to work
