Anirudh Saraf, a college student, has started a blog… Tablet PC – A Student’s Perspective

So far it only has 4 posts. One “Hello World”, two about OneNote usage, and one about starting to develop a OneNote PowerToy…

 

So after a week of learning XML and C# I finally dived into playing with the OneNote API

Here is the result of my first experiment with the One Note API.

What the program basically does is convert the OneNote Notebook structure into a TreeView structure. Not too useful at this stage, but its a start. A few of the features I hope to implement before releasing a powertoy based on this.

1. Add SubPages as a seperate Node
2. Link to Notes from Tree View
3. Ability to change the page title
4. A page preview pane
5. Ability to move pages pages.

Please do leave feature requests/ideas in the comments below. Also if anyone is interested in developing/collaborating in the development of OneNote Powertoys do drop me an email.

Dan Escapa posted in the OneNote Newsgroup that there are two powertoys in development…

• Sort Pages = Possibly in January. Be sure to read Dan’s correction, the original post is about sorting outline items, but Dan’s powertoy sorts pages.
• Find & Replace = No date, just ” However this *is* a powertoy we are working on : ) “

I’ve had this as a draft since Tuesday morning, but Windows With Ink posted first…

Windows With Ink has switched his blog to WordPress and made a test post using OneNote 12′s export, but no details are provided yet as to the process.

• Update:  Export as XML –> XML-RPC –> WordPress (in this post)

I’ve been playing with OneNote 2003 sending through email to WordPress and plan to start modifying the Postie Plugin. More details and a link to the test site in this post on Note Talkers.

Also, please welcome Sid of “A Student’s Guide to Tablet PCs” to this site. We have started to collaborate on this site, as well as create a new site… http://www.NoteTalkers.com.

What PowerToy would you most like to see?

Post a comment, use the Contact Me form, or send me an email (onenote at adminid.com)

Next week I’ll post a Poll so you can vote for the most popular idea.

Note: Please don’t comment about AnalogReality’s PowerToys. I know a lot of people want to see them, but we just have to wait for Darron to fix that.

Update: Site moving to WindowsWithInk.com and has a Blog (TypePad)
Tablet PC Daily is using OneNote 12′s export feature to post to his blog. So far the following works with Blogger…

Export text with title to blog
Export text with title and picture to blog
Export handwritten text (converted) with title to blog

He asked two questions about what other blogging services are popular and if it is a valuable tool. I’ve left a comment for WordPress. What will you vote for?

I’ve only done limited searching to find a link or info on this, so if anyone knows Piyush Shah or the website address, please Contact Me. I think Piyush is a .NET MVP near North Yorkshire, UK
