Skype activex

[Marco Turco]

Hi all,
I'm having problems to send sms via Skype using xHarbour+FWH,
is there someone that can share a running sample code that show the way to send an SMS through Skype ?

Thanks in advance

[Silvio]

function dial_skype(t_phone)
local objskype
if empty(t_phone)
return .t.
endif
objSkype = CreateObject("SKYPEAPI.Access", "objSkype_")
objSkype:Connect()
do while objSkype:APIAttachmentStatus <> 0
enddo
inkey(.5)
oCall = objskype:PlaceCall(t_phone)
objskype = Nil
return .t.



but I never try it because I not found dll on skype site

Thanks for your sample,
anyway I am looking for an SMS sample, not a Skype call sample.
I have Skype already installad so I think no external dll is required.

scusa ho capito ma credo che se avessimo la dll forse potremmo sapere qualche funzione all'interno..per inviare sms.. oopps ho parlato italiano

I have an example using a dll - Skype4com.dll

I am not sure where I got this sample from but I did get it working.
