Raised when a new message from a specified participant is received.

Syntax

'Declaration
Sub OnInstantMessageReceived ( _
    pEventSource As UccInstantMessagingSessionParticipant, _
    pEventData As UccIncomingInstantMessageEvent _
)

void OnInstantMessageReceived (
    UccInstantMessagingSessionParticipant pEventSource,
    UccIncomingInstantMessageEvent pEventData
)

void OnInstantMessageReceived (
    UccInstantMessagingSessionParticipant^ pEventSource, 
    UccIncomingInstantMessageEvent^ pEventData
)

void OnInstantMessageReceived (
    UccInstantMessagingSessionParticipant pEventSource, 
    UccIncomingInstantMessageEvent pEventData
)

function OnInstantMessageReceived (
    pEventSource : UccInstantMessagingSessionParticipant, 
    pEventData : UccIncomingInstantMessageEvent
)

Parameters

Remarks

OnInstantMessageReceived must be handled in order to carry on an instant messaging conversation. The remote sending user receives confirmation that a message was sent and received by the local endpoint regardless of whether the local application has advised for _IUccInstantMessagingSessionParticipantEvents.

The event data argument of this callback method provides both the actual content of the sent message and the MIME content text subtype of the message. Normally, message are sent in the "text/plain" MIME content format, but messages can also be sent as "text/enriched" or "text/html".

Win32 COM/C++ Syntax

HRESULT OnInstantMessageReceived
(
   IUccInstantMessagingSessionParticipant* pEventSource,
   IUccIncomingInstantMessageEvent* pEventData
);

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 example handles the OnInstantMessageReceived event. The ContentType property is examined to determine the correct text processing logic to execute.

Note

The following example assumes an instance of System.Windows.Forms.RichTextBox (this.rt_ReceiveText) has been declared and instantiated in the application class containing this example method. The example cannot compile without a class instance of this.rt_ReceiveText

/// <summary>
/// displays incoming instant message text in either a TextBox instance or
/// a RichTextBox instance, depending on the MIME content text subtype specified
/// </summary>
/// <param name="pEventSource">UccInstantMessagingSessionParticipant participant sending the message</param>
/// <param name="pEventData">UccIncomingInstantMessageEvent The message</param>

    UccInstantMessagingSessionParticipant pEventSource, 
    UccIncomingInstantMessageEvent pEventData)

    IUccSessionParticipant sendingParticipant = pEventSource as IUccSessionParticipant;
    if (this.rt_ReceiveText.Text.Length > 0)
    {

        this.rt_SendText.Clear();
        this.rt_SendText.Refresh();
    }
    if (pEventData.ContentType == "text/enriched")
    {
        //create a MemoryStream to stream the received
        //rich text bytes into the RichTextBox

            inputStream.Write(inputbytes, 0, inputbytes.Length);

            //set memory stream pointer to beginning of the stream
            inputStream.Seek(0, System.IO.SeekOrigin.Begin);

            //load memory stream into the rich text box as RichText
            this.rt_ReceiveText.LoadFile(
                inputStream,

    else
    {
        this.rt_ReceiveText.AppendText(
            pEventData.ParticipantEndpoint.Participant.Uri.User + 
            ": ");
        this.rt_ReceiveText.AppendText(
            pEventData.Content);

    }
    //select bottom of textbox;
    this.rt_ReceiveText.ScrollToCaret();
    this.rt_ReceiveText.Refresh();
