Windows Messenger Client Reference

[Windows Messenger is no longer available for use as of Windows Vista. For more information, see Windows Messenger.]

This documentation provides information about the Windows Messenger API which is a set of interfaces for objects related to the Messenger client. These APIs expose standard automation, messaging, and window management functionality.

New applications should not use this set of interfaces. These interfaces exist for backward compatibility with legacy applications. These interfaces will be unavailable in the future.

The Messenger interfaces include the basic object interface; several interfaces that house entities such as users, windows, and lists; and an event sink (connection point) interface.
