I am having a VBA, Added to my outlook, which sends message over Lync.
The Script is as given below.
Sub sendIM(toUsers As Variant, message As String)
Dim msgr As CommunicatorAPI.IMessengerConversationWndAdvanced
'Open messenger window and send message!!!!!
Set msgr = messenger.InstantMessage(toUsers)
msgr.SendText (message)
Set msgr = Nothing
It works fine. If there are 10 users, in the toUsers variable, then it sends the message to all as a "Group".
What i want is, if there is a user who is offline, I would like to get some notification that the person is not online. The Messenger displays "Error", saying "Cannot invite "n" people to join the meeting".
Can I get some status, which returns me details of all the users, whom the message was not sent?
You're going about this the wrong way... Rather than creating your distribution list and then looking for exceptions, look to see who is online and send the message to just those folks.
The following two functions will return an array of all your Lync contacts with their current status. Use the array to target who gets included in your message.
Function LyncContactsStatus() As Variant
Dim appLync As CommunicatorAPI.Messenger
Dim LyncDirectory As CommunicatorAPI.IMessengerContacts
Dim LyncContact As CommunicatorAPI.IMessengerContact
Dim arrContacts() As Variant
Dim lngLoopCount As Long
Set appLync = CreateObject("Communicator.UIAutomation")
appLync.AutoSignin
Set LyncDirectory = appLync.MyContacts
ReDim arrContacts(LyncDirectory.Count - 1, 1)
For lngLoopCount = 0 To LyncDirectory.Count - 1
Set LyncContact = LyncDirectory.Item(lngLoopCount)
arrContacts(lngLoopCount, 0) = LyncContact.FriendlyName
arrContacts(lngLoopCount, 1) = LyncStatus(LyncContact.Status)
Next lngLoopCount
LyncContactsStatus = arrContacts
Set appLync = Nothing
End Function
Function LyncStatus(IntStatus As Integer) As String
Select Case IntStatus
Case 1 'MISTATUS_OFFLINE
LyncStatus = "Offline"
Case 2 'MISTATUS_ONLINE
LyncStatus = "Online"
Case 6 'MISTATUS_INVISIBLE
LyncStatus = "Invisible"
Case 10 'MISTATUS_BUSY
LyncStatus = "Busy"
Case 14 'MISTATUS_BE_RIGHT_BACK
LyncStatus = "Be Right Back"
Case 18 'MISTATUS_IDLE
LyncStatus = "Idle"
Case 34 'MISTATUS_AWAY
LyncStatus = "Away"
Case 50 'MISTATUS_ON_THE_PHONE
LyncStatus = "On the Phone"
Case 66 'MISTATUS_OUT_TO_LUNCH
LyncStatus = "Out to Lunch"
Case 82 'MISTATUS_IN_A_MEETING
LyncStatus = "In a meeting"
Case 98 'MISTATUS_OUT_OF_OFFICE
LyncStatus = "Out of office"
Case 114 'MISTATUS_OUT_OF_OFFICE
LyncStatus = "Do not disturb"
Case 130 'MISTATUS_IN_A_CONFERENCE
LyncStatus = "In a conference"
Case Else
LyncStatus = "Unknown"
End Select
End Function
