Execute Lync 2010 extension code before user accepts call

I'd like to execute some custom code every time Lync 2010 receives a call. I tried it with a Conversation Window Extension (CWE), which contains a Silverlight client, and the Silverlight client uses the Lync API, like this:

var lync = LyncClient.GetClient();
lync.ConversionManager.ConversionAdded += ...

The problem is, this code gets executed only when the user accepts an incoming call. How can I execute code like this exactly in the moment when the call comes in? Not after the user accepts the call, but while "the phone rings"?

Thank you

Solution

  • That's right, the extension will only be displayed when you have a conversation window to show it in - which means accepting the conversation first.

    If you want to trap incoming calls you can do this with the Lync SDK - theres more info on exactly how to do this in the accepted answer to this question here
