HOWTO: Determine When Collaborate Button Should Be Active

ID: Q196498

The information in this article applies to:

• Microsoft NetMeeting 2.1 Software Development Kit (SDK)

SUMMARY

You can obtain each member's sharing status through the INmMember::GetShareState method.

MORE INFORMATION

If the status is NM_SHARE_IN_CONTROL or NM_COLLABORATING, a Collaborate button should not be enabled. If the status is NM_SHARE_WORKING_ALONE, the button should be enabled because application sharing is available and the local user is not in control. However, if the status is NM_SHARE_UNKNOWN, the application should check whether or not the local user is a member of the application-sharing channel.
