If dealing with a client and dont mind the communicator UI running (I'd like to know how to do it w/o using the communicator UI!!),
this has sample code:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office Communicator\SDK\OCSDK.chm
"Starting an Instant Messaging Conversation":
I just made an object array and skipped the use the arraylist they mention.
vb: Dim
sips As Object() = {"r", "t", "o"}
Code Block
//load selected contacts into ArrayList.
ArrayList contactArray = new ArrayList()
contactArray.Add("jaya@contoso.com");
contactArray.Add("joshP@contoso.com"};
//dimension object array to the number of contacts selected
object[] sipUris = new object[contactArray.Count];
int currentObject = 0;
//iterate over contactArray and load each individual
//contact into object array element.
foreach (object contactObject in contactArray)
{
sipUris[currentObject] = contactObject;
currentObject ++;
}
long windowHandle;
CommunicatorAPI.IMessengerAdvanced msgrAdv =
communicator as CommunicatorAPI.IMessengerAdvanced;
if (msgrAdv != null)
{
try
{
object obj = msgrAdv.StartConversation(
CONVERSATION_TYPE.CONVERSATION_TYPE_IM,
sipUris, // object array of signin names
null,
"Testing",
"1",
null);
windowHandle = long.Parse(obj.ToString());
}
catch (COMException ex)
{
this.writeToTextBox(
formReturnErrors.returnComError(ex.ErrorCode)
);
}
