The Buddy object represents a single presence contact. There are two varieties of Buddy object: Buddy and Buddy2.
Buddy Object
The Buddy object was introduced in RTC 1.0 and is accessed using the IRTCBuddy interface.
This interface enables users to store and retrieve information about a single contact.
To create a Buddy object, use IRTCClientPresence::AddBuddy.
Buddy2 Object
The Buddy2 object is part of RTC 1.2 and is accessed using the IRTCBuddy2 interface. This interface provides additional methods that enable the user to do the following:
- Refresh buddy subscriptions
- Retrieve buddy groups
- Retrieve the presence profile
To create a Buddy2 object, call IUnknown::QueryInterface on a Buddy object.
