This content is no longer actively maintained. It is provided as is, for anyone who may still be using these technologies, with no warranties or claims of accuracy with regard to the most recent product version or service release.

Retrieves the status of the local user in a service. Scriptable.

Syntax

HRESULT MyStatus(
   [out,
   retval] MISTATUS* pmiStatus
);

Parameters

  • pmiStatus
    Pointer to the MISTATUS of the user.

Return Value

Pointer to the MISTATUS of the user. For managed code applications, these return values are received in the form of a COMException.

  • S_OK
    Success.
  • RPC_X_NULL_REF_POINTER
    pmiStatus is a null pointer.

Remarks

This property returns the published presence status of the user. The published status is the online status that is visible to other Office Communicator users. The user status cannot be set using this property. If the local client has multiple messenger services running, this interface allows you to specify which service you want to see user presence status for.

Example

In this example, an IMessenger object has been instantiated as communicator. The primary communicator service, thisService, is accessed as an IMessengerService object by querying the IMessengerServices::PrimaryService property on communicatorServices. Finally, the status of the logged-on user is displayed in the application console window.

IMessengerServices communicatorServices;
IMessengerService thisService;
communicatorServices = (IMessengerServices)communicator.Services;
thisService = (IMessengerService)communicatorServices.PrimaryService;

if (thisService != null)
{
    try
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Primary Service MyStatus: " + thisService.MyStatus);
    }
    catch (COMException MSCE)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("COM Exception: " + MSCE.ErrorCode.ToString());
    }
}
