Private applications creation
Hi,
Does anybody know how to create private application by the help of Collaboration SDK? For example private notepad that is visible just for one logged in user.
Thanks,
Roman

Re: Private applications creation
Hey Roman,
That's probably not a question that could be answered easily in a single forum post. :-)
The easiest way to accomplish a private notepad would be to place a notepad in the "Presenter Only" area of a Connect Pro meeting room. This way, only presenters and hosts can see and use the notepad. The same is true for any other pod (chat, share, etc...) placed in the presenter only area.
If you want to create a custom pod, the best place to start is probably the developer center on adobe.com here:

It's probably also worth checking out the newly revised resource center. Click on the "Developer" tab:

Thanks,

Re: Private applications creation
During meeting breakouts, every participant is automatically promoted to "Presenter" status. This means that using the Presenter Only area would probably not be an option.
The current notepod though allows for private chat. You should be able to select an individuals name from a dropdown listbox and send a message privately to that individual.
If that doesn't meet your needs - it is possible to create your own notepod in Flash. Make sure that it's ActionScript 2.0 - AS3 will NOT work in a Connect Pro room.
I'm not an expert, but you would probably create a flash application with a large, multi-line text field to serve as the notepad. You'd need to use the Collaboration Builder SDK to add the following intelligence:
- TextField should only be visible to users that are hosts (or to specific users based on usernames)
- Every time someone typed (or deleted) a letter in the textfield, you would need to sync the new text across all instances of your notepod. You could use the onChange event of the textfield to trigger the sync.
