I was looking for an API to WLM. I want to implement the following
functionality:

Ability to place calls over Live Call from an API.
Receive event notifications on incoming calls and chats.
Send SMS messages through WLM.
Access the History of a chat conversation while the window is open.
Add my own toolbar or buttons to some of the WLM UI windows.
Access the user's contact list programatically.

I have seen the WLM Activity SDK, but it doesnt seem to allow this type of
functionality. I don't want to change how WLM works, just intercept and
react to events, and be able to initiate WLM functionality with an API. Is
any of this possible ?

This is the closest we have to any APIs other than the Activity SDK:

Scott,

Thanks for the reply...

I have looked at this as well. It seems half the functionality I'm looking
for is there. I also noticed before Katie Blanch left she had said some of
the functionality was in the "wish list". Is there a beta or alpha program I
can participate in to get in on the latest API releases or info?

Not that I'm aware of, it would be nice if the APIs were expanded upon
though.
