Retrieves the number of IMessengerContact objects in the collection. Not scriptable.
Syntax
HRESULT Count( [out, retval] LONG* pcContacts ); |
Parameters
- pcContacts
-
LONG that provides the number of IMessengerContact objects in the collection.
Return Value
Returns one of the following values. For managed code applications, these return values are received in the form of a COMException.
- S_OK
-
Success.
- RPC_X_NULL_REF_POINTER
-
pcContacts is a null pointer.
Remarks
If there are no active IMessengerContact objects in the contact list, pcContacts returns zero.
If this method is called while the client is offline, the method call does not fail, but the contact list always has zero members and zero count.
Example
The example code instantiates and fills a collection of IMessengerContact objects by querying the IMessenger::MyContacts property of communicator. If the contact collection is not null, the count of items in the collection is retrieved by querying the Count property. Finally, the contact count is displayed on the application console window.
