{{Protocols/MSNP|section=Activities}}
__NOTOC__= Additional Activity API Development Requirements =

In addition to the requirements for your compliance testing submission, there are the following requirements for your Activity:

<div class="clsListStd">

* User assistance requirements
* Requirements for usage of ActiveX® controls
* Requirements for installation of additional software

</div>
<span id="user-assistance-requirements"></span>
== User Assistance Requirements ==

Your Activity must include a Help link that provides user assistance information. The MSN® Messenger Support team does not detail specific requirements for the user assistance area. However, this content will be reviewed before your Activity is released, with special emphasis placed on your application providing a good user experience.

<span id="requirements-for-usage-of-activex-controls"></span>
== Requirements for Usage of ActiveX Controls ==

If an ActiveX control provides the functionality for your Activity, the ActiveX control must be properly signed. You must also include information in the test plan documentation that details how your application will handle the case where the user chooses not to install the ActiveX control.

<span id="requirements-for-installation-of-additional-software"></span>
== Requirements for Installation of Additional Software ==

If your Activity requires the installation of additional software (for example, the Flash Player), your predeployment development plan must include detailed information about how this software is used, what it contains, and how you will handle the installation of the additional software on the user's system.

<div class="clsNoteStd">

<span class="clsNoteHead">Note</span> If your Activity requires the installation of additional applications (for example, the Flash Player) you must clearly notify the user that these third-party applications are required (at a minimum). If you design your Activity so that it examines a user�s system for these required applications, you must provide clear dialog messages to users of your application if these applications are not already installed. You must notify the user that the software needs to be downloaded, and then either display instructions about how to obtain and install the software, or start the download and installation and then when complete, automatically return the user to the Activity.

</div>
