Question

i don't use bar, i can create conversation window by onSelected attribute in contact-list but i don't know how to manage context-menu event

Answer 1

Thanks for using the Windows Live Messenger Library.

You can start a conversation using the context-menu in the contact-list control. You can monitor the user.get_conversations() collection to learn when conversations are created and start from there.

 

The detailed steps are given in the thread - http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/wlmessengerapidev/thread/7ae1b2de-56a4-4882-ad37-54b1db5cbc1e

It also includes a sample code.

 

For more details on how to use Windows Live Messenger Library with UI controls, please refer http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd570041.aspx

 

Let me know if this helps.

Hi Liverbool,

We currently don't expose a way to directly hook into the context menu of the contact-list.

However, you can add a conversation-list control (<msgr:conversation-list>) to your page to automatically render all conversations. When a user selects "Send an instance message" from the contact list, a new conversation will automatically be added to the conversation-list control. Give it a go :-)

Cheers,
