Skype Interface

I need to create an application in VB6 using SkypeContacts ActiveX Control or the Skype4Com where I put in a phone number and dial the number.

Does anyone have an example or VB doc. showing how this can be done?

Thanks in advance for your assistance.

How about using vb.net? Also there are examples for vb6 on the skype website in the developer zone.

I was unable to find anything in vb6 regarding how to programmatically place a call. If you find it please send me a link to it.

Hi Phil

This is for vb6

https://developer.skype.com/Docs/Skype4COMLib/Examples

and this is what I have that I am using in VB.net - make sure you install skype and then add SKYPE4COMLIB as a reference to your project

Public WithEvents skype As SKYPE4COMLib.Skype

Public Sub DialSkypeNumber()
If skype Is Nothing Then
skype = New SKYPE4COMLib.Skype
End If
Try
' If Not skype.Call.Status = SKYPE4COMLib.TCallStatus.clsBusy Then
skype.PlaceCall("+" & ReturnNumber.ToString)
' End If
Catch ex As Exception
MsgBox(ex.Message)
End Try

End Sub

This is just for making a call, however I can send you code for event handling also

It looks like everything is in .NET. I have VB .NET Visual Studio 2005 but have never used it.

If you have a sample .NET program that uses the Skype Skype4Com I would really appreciate it.

Thanks In Advance for your help
