SetParticipantStatus Method
Changes the status of the member in a chat room.
Syntax
object.SetParticipantStatus ParticipantID, Mask, Status
Parameters
object Required. An object expression that evaluates to a Chat control. ParticipantID Required. If ParticipantID=-1, the member selected in the Participant list box will be affected. Only one member can be selected for this method to work. Otherwise, the value of ParticipantID has to come from an OnEnterParticipant event. Mask Required. A short integer indicating the types of status changes that the user wants to make. Set to zero if no masks are wanted. Can be set to one of the following values or a combination of 1 and one other value.
1 Mask to set a member's privileges. Must be set if Status is 1, 2, or 4. 2 Mask to set the whisper status of the user. Must be set if Status is changed to 8 or zero (to allow whispers). 4 Mask to set the ignored status of a member. Must be set if Status is changed to 16 or zero (to allow the user to receive messages from the member again). Status Required. A short integer setting the participant's status changes. Set to zero if the user wants to allow the member to whisper to the user (if Mask includes 2) or allow the user to receive messages from the member (if Mask includes 4). Can be set to any combination of the following values.
1 Changes the privileges of the member to a host. The value of Mask must include 1. 2 Changes the privileges of the member to a participant. The value of Mask must include 1. 4 Changes the privileges of the member to a spectator. The value of Mask must include 1. 8 Changes the status of the user to not allow whispers. The value of Mask must include 2. 16 Changes the status of the member to be ignored so the user will not receive any messages from that member. The value of Mask must include 4. Remarks
This method cannot be called before the OnEndEnumeration event. The following are the rules that apply to status changes:
- The user cannot ignore herself or himself or the hosts.
- The user can set the flag for no whispers (Status=8) only on herself or himself.
- Only a host can change another user's privileges.
- The user cannot set both the no-whisper and ignored values (or masks), since users cannot ignore themselves and the user cannot set the whisper value of another member.
