Description

With this function you can share a URL. The URL should be complete and include "http://" and you can also give it a title and a description. Finally you should indicate whether it should be shared immediately (true) and shown in the slide-out share "charm" or not (false), in which case the user will have to manually call on the share "charm" to see the content.


Example:

if keyboard_check_pressed(ord("S"))
   {
   win8_share_url("http://www.MacSweeneyGames.com", "MacSweeney Games", "MacSweeny Games Homepage", true);
   }

The above code will check for the "S" key being pressed and if it is detected it will share the given URL.
