IMessengerContacts Interface

Deprecated. 

An interface that manipulates the contact list, which maintains a collection of users in a Messenger object.

Any MessengerContacts collection object can have zero members in its collection.

List collection objects are not explicitly created or destroyed. They already exist and were created by the Messenger object. To create a pointer to the existing object that represents the Contact List, use the IMessenger::GetContact method.

IMessengerContacts Members

_NewEnum	Enumerates the MessengerContact objects in a collection.
Count	Retrieves the number of MessengerContacts objects in the collection.

Remarks

The Messenger client contains other lists of users and contacts internally, but only the contact list is accessible through the Microsoft Windows Messenger API.
