HOWTO: Run NM in Background or Launch/Shutdown from Other Apps

ID: Q191843

The information in this article applies to:

• Microsoft NetMeeting 2.1 Software Development Kit (SDK)

SUMMARY

How can I run NetMeeting in background mode, or launch and shutdown NetMeeting from other custom applications?

From the NetMeeting SDK you can use the flag NM_INIT_NORMAL to start NetMeeting in the background with the NetMeeting user interface open and to allow the main user interface to be accessed when the application terminates. This also makes NetMeeting remain active. To start NetMeeting with no user interface and to shut off NetMeeting after the application terminates, use the NM_INIT_CONTROL flag.
