Learn about the properties of the Microsoft Lync 2013 SendEmailButton control.
Applies to: Lync 2013 | Lync Server 2013
In this article |
Control overview
Use the SendEmailButton control in Microsoft Lync Control applications to start Microsoft Outlook and compose an email to a selected contact. The selected contact must have an email address exposed for this feature to work. Optionally, you can specify a subject for the email as well.
The control is designed to mimic the functionality provided by the corresponding button on the Quick Connect toolbar of the ContactCard. As such, it must be bound to a contact using the Source property before it can be used. When clicked, it starts Outlook and initiates the desired action with that contact. This button is not a general-purpose Outlook Integration tool. It's intended to be used with other Lync Controls to provide a full set of collaboration options for interacting with a specific contact or distribution group. Despite the fact that no Microsoft Lync 2013 functionality is actually used here, this control leverages the binding model of the other Lync Controls to provide the full scope of features accessible on the ContactCard Quick Connect toolbar.
