Control overview

Use the MyStatusArea control in Microsoft Lync Control applications to display the note string, an availability icon/photo, a textblock with the user’s name, and a textblock with the user’s location. It also displays the MyNoteBox and MyPresenceChooser controls together. To display these in separate locations, use MyNoteBox and MyPresenceChooser as separate controls. Clicking the presence status box displays a list of presence options, for example "Be Right Back." Users can change their presence by selecting one of these. Users can also change their note string by typing in new text and pressing the Enter key.
