Property Value
A value of the BSTR* (string, for a .NET application) type. Category names are defined by a category schema. Office Communicator-supported category names include "categories", "container", "contacts", "notes", and others.
Remarks
This property is useful to determine the parent category context when received as an event parameter for category instance events. When handling category context events, an IUccCategoryContext object is provided as the event source argument. The IUccCategoryInstance event source parameter of category instance events exposes the CategoryContext property
Win32 COM/C++ Syntax
HRESULT get_Name
(
BSTR* pbstrName
);
Note
In a Win32 application, the return value of a method or property is always an HRESULT value indicating the status of the call to the interface member. Any result of the operation is returned as a parameter marked with the [out, retval] attribute. In contrast, in a .NET application the HRESULT value indicating an error condition is returned as a COM exception and the [out, retval] parameter becomes the return value. For the UCC API-defined HRESULT values, see Trace and Handle Errors in Unified Communications Client API.
Example
The following example is an OnCategoryInstanceAdded event handler. The example code uses the category context name property to determine what application logic to run. In this case, the client processes the "contacts" category differently than the other received categories.
void _IUccCategoryContextEvents.OnCategoryInstanceAdded(
IUccCategoryContext pCategoryCtx,
UccCategoryInstanceEvent pCategory)
{
IUccCategoryInstance ci = pCategory.CategoryInstance;
UCC_Advise<_IUccCategoryInstanceEvents>(
pCategory.CategoryInstance,
this);
switch (pCategoryCtx.Name.ToLower().Trim())
{
case "contacts":
int cookie = 0;
UccContact addedContact = pCategory.CategoryInstance as UccContact;
UccPresentity presentity = contactsSubscription.CreatePresentity(addedContact.Uri, null);
contactsSubscription.AddPresentity(presentity);
contactsSubscription.Subscribe(null);
break;
case "groups":
Console.Writeline("groups instance added");
break;
case "subscribers":
Console.Writeline("subscribers instance added");
break;
case "state":
Console.Writeline("state instance added");
break;
case "calendarData":
Console.Writeline("calendarData instance added");
break;
case "contactCard":
Console.Writeline("contactCard instance added");
break;
case "categories":
Console.Writeline("categories instance added");
break;
case "containers":
Console.Writeline("containers instance added");
break;
default:
Console.Writeline("other instance added");
break;
}
}
