Returns a list of services that the Communicator client uses. Scriptable.

Syntax

HRESULT Services(
   [out,
   retval] IDispatch** ppdispServices
);

Parameters

  • ppdispServices
    Return Value. Pointer to a pointer to an IDispatch interface on an IMessengerServices collection object.

Return Value

Returns one of the following values. For managed code applications, these return values are received in the form of a COMException.

  • S_OK
    Success.
  • PRC_X_NULL_REF_POINTER
    ppdispServices is a null pointer.

Remarks

The default service an Office Communicator local client uses is Communications Service. At this time, Office Communicator Automation API supports only this service.

Example

The following example instantiates and fills a services collection object by querying the Services property of an IMessenger object. If the collection contains any service members, the code instantiates an IMessengerService object representing the primary Communicator service by querying the PrimaryService property of the collection. Finally, the primary service name is displayed on the application console window.

IMessengerServices serviceCollection = (IMessengerServices)communicator.Services;
if (serviceCollection.Count > 0 && serviceCollection != null)
{
    try 
    {
        IMessengerService primaryService = (IMessengerService) serviceCollection.PrimaryService;
         Console.WriteLine(primaryService.ServiceName);
     }
     catch (COMException SCCE)
     {
         Console.WriteLine("COM Exception " + SCCE.ErrorCode.ToString());
     }
}
