IMessenger2::MyGroups

This content is no longer actively maintained.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 Group list contained in the Messenger object. The retrieved list is a MessengerGroups collection object that can be manipulated by the IMessengerGroups interface. Not scriptable.

Syntax

HRESULT MyGroups(
   [out,
   retval] IDispatch** ppMGroups
);

Parameters

  • ppMGroups
    Return value. Pointer to a pointer to an IDispatch interface. In practice, this returns the IMessengerGroups interface on the contact list or MessengerGroups 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.
  • E_OUTOFMEMORY
    An error occurred during the list creation.
  • RPC_X_NULL_REF_POINTER
    ppMGroups is a null pointer.
  • MSGR_E_GROUPS_NOT_ENABLED
    The current service does not support groups.

Remarks

ppMGroups should be released when it is no longer needed. Retrieved lists can potentially have zero members in their collection.

If this property is called while the client is not signed in, the HRESULT is S_OK and a true object is returned. However, the resulting MessengerGroups collection object will have zero members (that is, it contains no valid MessengerGroups objects).

Example

The following example code instantiates an IMessengerGroups object, calls the IMessenger2::MyGroups method on communicator, the Messenger Cocreatable object, and iterates over the collection of IMessengerGroup objects to display the group name on the application console. For more information about the IMessengerGroup interface, see IMessengerGroup.

if (communicator != null)
{
   IMessengerGroups myGroups;
   try
   {
       myGroups = (IMessengerGroups)communicator.MyGroups;
       if (myGroups != null)
       {
          foreach (IMessengerGroup myGroup in myGroups)
          {
              Console.WriteLine("Group: " + myGroup.Name);
          }
       }
   }
   catch (COMException CGCE)
   {
      Console.WriteLine(CGCE.ErrorCode.ErrorCode.ToString());
   }
}
