The email equivalent would be:

You can bring up the IM window, but you can't pre-define the message.
You bring up the IM with

Outlook MAPI throws error creating Teams Meeting from calendar

I have my own plugin written for Outlook MAPI in C++.
We have our own server code and client interacts with it using SOAP Req/Resp.
Now when we have Microsoft Teams installed on the PC. If someone opens Outlook, and goes to Calendar, it shows "New Teams Meeting" button on "Home" ribbon. If someone clicks it. It opens the new meeting compose button but on shows message box with error "We couldn't schedule the meeting. Please try again later". Once we click OK on that message box, it closes the compose windows and returns to the main windows.
But it works perfectly when someone follows path : Ribbon Home->New Items->Meeting. Now it opens new meeting compose windows. Now on the new meeting compose windows Ribbon Meeting->Teams Meeting and it perfectly works fine by adding Teams Meeting URL at the bottom in body.
Any idea what could be the problem? What's missing there?
Thanks in advance
Check whether this problem is related to the Teams add-in, see Teams in Outlook: We Couldn’t Schedule the Meeting.

how to get a welcome message in aws lex chat bot

I am creating a chatbot using amazon lex.
There is a use case for which I have to display a welcome message like 'Hello my name is LexC. How can i help you?'
How can I implement this? This message should be displayed without user type anything, so basically without invoking any intent.
Your Lex bot cannot display a "welcome" message without any prompts from the user. You would have to implement this functionality on the client side where the bot is integrated.
Since you mention that you're using the bot inside your web/mobile app, you can implement your own code to simply show a message to the user once your chat UI loads up in the app. For Slack however, you would have to look into their docs to see if something like that can be configured.

C++ mfc create a mail sending button?

is it possible to create a button in C++ MFS dialog based document so that after pressing that it sends some data to your email?
You can use the functions that come with the MAPI ActiveX control, to send an email. I had done this in Visual C++ 6.
Edit :
The ActiveX control does not show up in the toolbox on Visual Studio 2010 , so you have add them.
You need to add both the controls. After adding the controls, create a variable for the controls and the respective classes shall be generated .
Mapi Session to keep track of the session - Logon / Logoff
Mapi Messages to compose the message and send them.

Reply to with text messaging

Is there a way to send a text message to someone and in the message have a single button/link that will send a text message from their phone to a voting mechanism?
Example: Pedro is running for class president. I want to send a text to everyone that says:
Vote for Pedro!
And when they click on the link, it sends a text message from their phone to 73774 with the text: 110084.
I'm asking this in the ColdFusion section because I know ColdFusion and don't know PHP.
No, text messages are just that... text.
Now, if you send a link, such as http://vote.for/pedro, most phones will automatically highlight that and open it in the users browser, but this isn't quite what you are looking for.

MFC : How to capture a link click event in a web browser control?

I have an MFC application that has a webcontrol. When clickable links are clicked, it opens using IE, not the default browser.
Questions :
Is there a way to force it to open using the default browser?
If not, how do I capture the Link Click event so I could just manipulate the click event later?
Thanks...
No, not as far as I know.
Check out the articles on http://ehsanakhgari.org/article/visual-c/webbrowser-goodies . It has a number of articles that show how to set up an event sink using IDocHostUIHandler etc. to handle events like clicking of links. I'm not sure which interface to implement, it's been years since I last did this. Then, you use ShellExecute() with a url as the third parameter to open a url with the default browser.
You can capture click events by using "HRESULT STDMETHODCALLTYPE Invoke" see MSDN for more details.
And here's a great example that shows how to open your URL using the default browser in the same window, or opening a new window > http://www.codeproject.com/KB/IP/urlnewwindow.aspx
