Selecting the link to send an instant message to a contact launches the Office Communicator client conversation:
The following job shows how to send an instant message to a contact using Office Communicator from code:
static void UCMAExample(Args _args)
{
AlertSender.OCS_Sender ocSender;
;
try
{
ocSender = new AlertSender.OCS_Sender(@"sip:Administrator@contoso.com", "ax-srv-03.contoso.com",
"Administrator", @"thepassword", "contoso");
ocSender.SendMessage("sip:Alicia@contoso.com", "Hello from AX", "Normal");
}
catch(Exception::CLRError)
{
throw error(AifUtil::getClrErrorMessage());
}
}
To enable this you will need to install the UCMA redistributable, available as part of the UCMA SDK download:
