_IContactsAndGroupsCallback.OnLookUp

Question

I'd like to provide IM presence etc for Office, following the guide from http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-US/library/office/jj900715.aspx#off15_IMIntegration_ImplementRequired_ILyncClient.

In response to

IContactManager.Lookup(string _lookupString, object _contactsAndGroupsCallback = null, object _state = Type.Missing)

I need to call

Microsoft.Office.Uc._IContactsAndGroupsCallback.OnLookup(ContactManager _source, object _lookupResult, AsynchronousOperation _asyncOperation);

The second parameter is not well documented:

When Office cannot determine the SIP address for the contact, it calls the IContactManager.Lookup method to find the SIP by using the IM service. Here Office passes in the best data that it can find for the contact (for example, just the email address for the contact). The Lookup method asynchronously returns an AsynchronousOperation object. When it invokes the callback, the Lookup method should return the success or failure of the operation in addition to the URI of the contact.

I tried different passing different results as lookupResult (uri string, .NET Uri object, Contact object) but with no success.

What is the required type of lookupResult?

Answer 1

Finally I could solve it. The parameters are:

[ClassInterface(ClassInterfaceType.None)]
[ComSourceInterfaces(typeof(_IContactManagerEvents))]
[ComVisible(true)]
public class MyContactManager : ContactManager
{
  // Additional implementation details omitted.
}


[ClassInterface(ClassInterfaceType.None)]
[ComVisible(true)]
[ComSourceInterfaces(typeof(_IContactEvents))]
public class MyOfficeContact : Contact 
{
  // Additional implementation details omitted.
}


[ComVisible(true)]
[ClassInterface(ClassInterfaceType.None)]
public class MyAsyncOperation : AsynchronousOperation
{
  // Additional implementation details omitted.
}

Hint: When integrating your IM applications with Office, you should implement a simple Office mock and call your own IM application interface. This will help in finding any issues with event handling etc.
