If a game has joined a channel with text enabled, then a user can send and receive group text messages. To send messages, the game uses the

vx_request_session_send_message

message. When this request is sent to the Vivox SDK, other users in that channel receive a

vx_evt_message

method.

The following code displays an example of the process for sending and receiving group text messages:


. . .vx_req_session_send_message *req;vx_req_session_send_message_create (&req);req->session_handle = vx_strdup("mychannel");req->message_body = "Here I am!";vx_issue_request3(&req->base, &request_count);. . .void HandleEventMessage(vx_evt_message *evt){    printf("Saw %s from user %s in %s\n", evt->message_body, evt->participant_uri, evt->session_handle);}

Note

vx_req_session_send_message.message_body

must be UTF-8 encoded.
