Sametime customizing

By request of Novadata Pilot Group implemented a software system to dynamically integrate menu items into Lotus Sametime Connect.

Have you ever run into a dilemma -- a piece of software would have suited you perfectly but for some minor feature that it lacks? Pilot Group has resources and expertise to create add-ins to your favorite programs to add necessary functionality. It is very important -- Pilot Group never modifies third party software systems. It only creates satellite software that incorporates into target programs and dynamically creates additional menus with custom functionality implemented in separate .dll files. Thus, if you do not start the Pilot Group add-in, the appropriate software will remain as it used to be.

Novadata have requested Pilot group to integrate a custom dynamic menu to enable them to send bulk invitation e-mails to all selected contacts in the list simultaneously. Bulk invitations should be sent both to Sametime connect contacts as well as to AOL contacts.

The invitation e-mails contain text that is dynamically generated based on settings from the users registry as well as by calls to the add-in software implemented by Pilot Group.

Integration is achieved by the use of windows hooks. All the additional functionality is implemented in separate .dll files. Windows API functions are intercepted to get the current active connection to the Sametime Connect server. The system was developed in Visual C++ 6.0
