Defining hotspot data

 

An application can set hotspot data, or users can enter it directly. You can retrieve this data, along with the identifier, shape and location of a hotspot, by using the IN_GetHotspotBLOB function.

To find out whether users are prompted for hotspot data:

· Use the IN_GetHotspotPromptDataFlag function.

To allow users to set the hotspot data:

· Enable the hotspot data prompt by using IN_SetHotspotPromptDataFlag( TRUE ).

The users must be knowledgeable enough about hotspots to know what to enter as data.

To have the client application set the hotspot data:

1. Register and define the NotifyHotspotPlaced notification.

2. Disable the hotspot data prompt by using IN_SetHotspotPromptDataFlag( FALSE ).

3. When a user places a hotspot, Imagenation sends a notification.

4. Use the IN_SetHotspotData function to assign data to the hotspot.
