Channel.IM (read-only) Property (Restricted)
This property returns a string containing the instant message that has been received. It contains new data whenever the OnIMReceived event fires. This property is read-only and is labeled "restricted" because it is only available if the application has the ReceiveIM permission. For more information, see Standard vs. Advanced Applications.

external.Channel.IM
JavaScript Syntax
window.external.Channel.IM
Property Value
A string object containing the instant message received from the remote MSN® Messenger client.

var myChannel = window.external.Channel;
function Channel_OnIMReceived() {
var myLocalCopy;
myLocalCopy = myChannel.IM;
txtDebugOut.innerHTML = "Received: " + myLocalCopy;
}
