This tutorial demonstrates how to write code that will allow your client to display a user's buddy info. Using the Open AIM SDK you can download and load the user's info.. In the following code samples, we will demonstrate how to implement this code in the following languages, C++, C#, VB, and JAVA. We also have sample clients included showing this code in the Open AIM SDK, you can find the clients in the "samples" folder.
Requests the user's aggregated HTML info.
The result will be returned via DAccEvents::OnUserRequestPropertyResult and is of type IAccIm.
The details of how this function works, including the set of acceptable serviceIds and the format of the returned result, are expected to change.
