Whiteboard sharing overview

This topic describes how to create a virtual whiteboard, upload a whiteboard to a conversation content bin, and then share the whiteboard in a conversation. The sample application shown in figure 1 is a Windows Forms application that implements the Lync 2013 API to let a user manage whiteboard collaboration in a conversation.

Important noteImportant

Whiteboard collaboration management is not supported in Lync UI suppression mode.

Figure 1 shows a sample conversation console application that lets a user manage virtual whiteboards on the sharing stage of a Lync 2013 conversation window.

Prerequisites

The prerequisites for sharing a whiteboard are as follows:

  • Microsoft Lync 2013 must be installed and running on the development computer.

  • You must have sign-in credentials for Microsoft Lync Server 2013.

  • Microsoft Lync 2013 SDK must be installed on the development computer.

Core concepts to know

Understanding the following concepts is essential to sharing a whiteboard in an application.

Topic

Description

Shareable meeting content

Learn about the nature of shareable content in a Lync 2013 conversation and what content sharing feature that Microsoft Lync 2013 SDK lets you build into your application.

Content sharing modality

Learn about the Lync 2013 conversation modality that is used to administer meeting content in an online meeting.

First steps

Before the logic in this topic runs in your application, a conversation must be active and you have registered an event callback method for the ContentSharingModalityActionAvailabilityChanged() event. The Microsoft.Lync.Model.Conversation.Sharing.ContentSharingModality in a connected state. For information about starting a conversation that hosts content sharing, see How to: Start a content sharing conversation.

Code example: Namespace declarations

Add the following namespace declarations to your application.

using Microsoft.Lync.Model;
using Microsoft.Lync.Model.Group;
using Microsoft.Lync.Model.Conversation;
using Microsoft.Lync.Model.Conversation.Sharing;
using System.Collections.Generic;

Code example: Field declaration

Add the following class field declarations to your application.

        /// <summary>
        /// Lync client platform. The entry point to the API
        /// </summary>
        LyncClient _LyncClient;

        /// <summary>
        /// Represents a Lync conversation
        /// </summary>
        Conversation _conversation;

Upload a whiteboard to a conversation

When the ModalityAction.CreateShareableWhiteboardContent action is available, you can create and upload a new whiteboard.

To upload a whiteboard

  1. Verify that the whiteboard can be created by calling the Modality.CanInvoke method.

  2. Create the whiteboard by calling the ContentSharingModality.BeginCreateContent method.

  3. Upload the new whiteboard to the conversation by calling the ShareableContent.Upload method.

  4. Register for the ShareableContent.ActionAvailabilityChanged event on the new whiteboard object.

Important noteImportant

You must catch any of the three possible exceptions that can be raised when a user creates a new whiteboard. These exceptions are raised when the asynchronous operation is complete. If no exceptions are raised, you can upload the new whiteboard to the conversation by calling the ShareableContent.Upload method on the new whiteboard. When the new whiteboard is uploaded to the conversation, the ContentSharingModality.ContentAdded event is raised.

Code example: Create and upload a whiteboard

The following example finishes first three steps of the previous procedure. The fourth step is completed in a following code example.

    if (((ContentSharingModality)_conversation.Modalities[ModalityTypes.ContentSharing]).CanInvoke(ModalityAction.CreateShareableWhiteboardContent))
    {
        string contentTitle = "Project Plan";
        ((ContentSharingModality)_conversation.Modalities[ModalityTypes.ContentSharing]).BeginCreateContent(ShareableContentType.Whiteboard, contentTitle, (ar) =>
            {
                try
                {
                    ShareableContent sContent;
                    sContent = ((ContentSharingModality)_conversation.Modalities[ModalityTypes.ContentSharing]).EndCreateContent(ar);
                    sContent.Upload();
                }
                catch (MaxContentsExceededException) { MessageBox.Show("You have reached the maximum number of content bin items"); }
                catch (ContentTitleExistException) { MessageBox.Show("Content title already exists"); }
                catch (ContentTitleInvalidException) { MessageBox.Show("Content title is not valid"); }
            } 
        , null);
    }

Code example: Register for the ShareableContent.ActionAvailabilityChanged event

The following example registers event callback methods on the new SharingModality object events.

        /// <summary>
        /// Raised when an item is uploaded to the content bin
        /// </summary>
        /// <param name="sender"></param>
        /// <param name="e"></param>
        void _sharingModality_ContentAdded(object sender, ContentCollectionChangedEventArgs e)
        {
            e.Item.StateChanged += _ShareableContent_StateChanged;
            e.Item.ActionAvailabilityChanged += _ShareableContent_ActionAvailabilityChanged;
        }

Code example: Handle the ActionAvailabilityChanged event

The following example enables or disables the content item sharing UI buttons when the availability of actions on the Microsoft.Lync.Model.Conversation.Sharing.ShareableContent object changes.

        /// <summary>
        /// Raised when the availability of an action on a ShareableContent object changes
        /// </summary>
        /// <param name="sender"></param>
        /// <param name="e"></param>
        void _ShareableContent_ActionAvailabilityChanged(object sender, ShareableContentActionAvailabilityChangedEventArgs e)
        {
            if ("Project Plan" == ((ShareableContent)sender).Title)
            {
                EnableDisableButtonDelegate d = new EnableDisableButtonDelegate(EnableDisableButton);
                switch (e.Action)
                {
                    case ShareableContentAction.Present:
                        this.Invoke(d, new object[] { PresentContent_Button, e.IsAvailable });
                        break;
                    case ShareableContentAction.StopPresenting:
                        this.Invoke(d, new object[] { StopPresentingContent_Button, e.IsAvailable });
                        break;
                }
            }
        }

Share a whiteboard

To share a whiteboard, call the ShareableContent.Present method on the content object that you want to share. If other content is being presented, it's displaced on the content sharing stage by the content sharing object on which you called the Present method.

To share a whiteboard

  1. Iterate on the ContentSharingModality.ContentCollection property to find the Microsoft.Lync.Model.Conversation.Sharing.ShareableContent object whose ShareableContent.Title property matches the title that you want to share.

  2. Verify that the content can be presented by calling the ShareableContent.CanInvoke method.

  3. Share the content by calling the ShareableContent.Present method.

Code example: Content item

The following example presents the content item whose title is "Project Plan."

            //Iterate on content collection of conversation content sharing modality,
            //looking for the content whose title matches the string selected in the
            //list.
            foreach (ShareableContent sContent in ((ContentSharingModality)_conversation.Modalities[ModalityTypes.ContentSharing]).ContentCollection)
            {
                if (sContent.Title == "Project Plan")
                {
                    int hrReason;
                    if (sContent.CanInvoke(ShareableContentAction.Present, out hrReason))
                    {
                        _ShareableContent = sContent;
                        sContent.Present();
                    }
                    else
                    {
                        MessageBox.Show("Cannot present whiteboard: " + hrReason.ToString());
                    }
                    break;
                }
            }

Stop sharing a whiteboard in a conversation

To stop sharing a whiteboard, call the ShareableContent.StopPresenting method on the content object that you want to stop sharing.

To stop sharing a whiteboard

  1. Get the shared content by reading the ContentSharingModality.ActiveContent property on the conversation content sharing modality.

  2. Verify that sharing can be stopped for the content by calling the ShareableContent.CanInvoke method.

  3. Stop sharing the content by calling the ShareableContent.StopPresenting method.

Code example: Stop sharing

The following example stops sharing the content item whose title is "Project Plan".

        ShareableContent sharedContent = ((ContentSharingModality)_conversation.Modalities[ModalityTypes.ContentSharing]).ActiveContent;
        int hrReason;
        if (sharedContent.CanInvoke(ShareableContentAction.StopPresenting, out hrReason))
        {
            sharedContent.StopPresenting();
        }
        else
        {
            MessageBox.Show("Cannot stop presenting " + _ShareableContent.Type.ToString() + ": " + hrReason.ToString());
        }
