Web and WebWorks Development

I was wondering if it was possible to invoke a screen shot using javascript for PB OS. Thanks!

I don't think so at the minute. I might possibly be available in the future though:

Ryan's correct, this API hasn't been created yet, and I am not entirely sure if the AIR SDK offers the right capabilities to allow developers to build one for PlayBook.  I created an extension like this once upon a time for the J2ME platform.

Going forward with BB10, I expect/hope that C/C++ extensions will offer the right APIs needed to produce a screenshot extension.

Then im curious as to how they did it for the TAT scrapbook app

Ah that answers my own question

The scrapbook app was created using the NDK.  So yes, there will be a solution - I just need to find that source code and we can publish something once we have the 3rd party extension for WebWorks + BlackBerry 10 story ready to go.

To give it a push. How is it going? Any news on it? Sounds very interesting to capture screen!!

No progress to report. However I've moved this request into Github
