You can add custom commands to various Communicator menus, and pass the SIP URI of the current user, and selected contacts, to the application launched by your custom command.
The custom commands that you define appear on the following menus:
- The Tools menu.
- The Actions menu off the Conversation window.
- The right-click menu off the Contact List.
See the "Accessing a Custom Command" section, later in this topic.
You can define custom commands for two types of applications:
- Applications that apply only to the current user and are launched on the local computer.
- Applications that involve additional users, such as an online collaboration program, and must be launched on each user's computer.
When the application you want to integrate involves other users, the custom command can be invoked by:
- Selecting one or more users, and then choosing the custom command.
- Starting a two-party or multi-party conversation, and then choosing the custom command.
For a detailed example, see Integrating a Third-Party Collaboration Program with Communicator in the Client Technical Reference documentation.

Use the registry settings in the table below to add a command to the Office Communicator menus. These entries are placed in the registry at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Communicator\SessionManager\Apps\[GUID of Application].

Name of the application as it appears on the menu. |
ApplicationType |
DWORD |

DWORD |
0 = Local session. The application is launched on the local computer. 1 = Two-party session (default). Communicator 2007 R2 launches the application locally, and then sends a desktop alert to the other user. The other user clicks the alert and starts the specified application on their computer. 2 = Multi-party session. Communicator 2007 R2 launches the application locally, and then sends desktop alerts to the other users, prompting them to launch the specified application on their own computer. |
ExtensibleMenu |
REG_SZ |
A list of the menus where this command will appear, separated by semi-colons. Possible values are: MainWindowActions MainWindowRightClick ConversationWindowActions ConversationWindowContextual ConversationWindowRightClick If ExtensibleMenu is not defined, the default values of MainWindowRightClick and ConversationWindowContextual are used. |
For example, executing the following Registry Editor (.REG) file results in the addition of the Contoso Sales Contact Manager menu item to the Actions menu.
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Communicator\SessionManager\Apps\{1F9F07C6-7E0B-462B-AAD7-98C6DBEA8F69}] "Name"="Contoso Sales Contact Manager" "HelpMessage"="The Contoso Sales Contact Manager is not installed. Contact the Help Desk for more information." "ApplicationType"="REG_DWORD:00000000" "ApplicationInstallPath"="C:\\cltest.exe" "Path"="C:\\cltest.exe %user-id% %contact-id%" "SessionType"="REG_DWORD:00000001" "ExtensibleMenu"="ConversationWindowActions;MainWindowRightClick"

%contact-id% parameter is not functional in R2 | javerlin | Edit | Show History |
This lack of functionality rendors nearly useless any menu selections when right clicking on a contact since the contact information is not passed to the application.
It would be very valuable to know if this has been intentionally removed for R2 or if it is a bug.
