API code to add/modify text into the lync conversation window

Question

I'd like to read the conversation window of MS Lync and either reformat some text in it, or if that is not possible, to add a new formatted text at the bottom of it (I want to make it clickable).

Is there a way to modify or add new text to the Lync conversation window via the API

Answer 1

You can use Lync SDK to read instant message. Event InstantMessageReceived can be used.

public event EventHandler<MessageSentEventArgs> InstantMessageReceived

MSDN Link - InstantMessageReceived

AFAIK, there is no way to modify an incoming message. However, there is a way to send message to conversation using BeginSendMessage method. The message can be send in plain or formatted text.
