Hi Firefox, great job... I will start to test very soon.

DO you know a place/documentation where I can know what each function does? Maybe at skype homepage?
THANKS

You've got a description for each function in the UDF.

I don't think that the manual available will help you, link here

Hi there,

I just ran across this by accident and it reminded me of a problem I tried to solve a few months ago, but wasn't able to:

I can send messages to every single member of my Skype list, but we have a "group" that I tried to inform about a set of values at regular intervals (about once every 4 hours).

The problem is that this step works, if I create a group and adress it, but for some unknown reason, our existing "group" (I'm writing it in parentheses, because Skype seems to treat it as something other than a group - and sadly, I did not create it) is not treated as such and DOES NOT show in the list of participants when I run your "Skype in AutoIT.au3".
In my actual Skype contact's list, it shows with a logo similar to the "Online" symbol, but with a circle of 6 white points around the center.

If I remember right, the lines

$ichat = $oSkype.get_Chat("#xyz.dev/$febc24a082b613eb")
For $aChat In $ichat.Chats
If $aChat.Timestamp >= "20120907000149" Then
$msgstring = $msgstring & @CR & $aChat.Timestamp & " | Groupname:" & $aChat.GroupName & " | Name:" & $aChat.Name & "| FriendlyName:" & $aChat.FriendlyName
ConsoleWrite("-> " & @ScriptLineNumber & " " & $msgstring & @CRLF)
EndIf
Next

worked correctly on all other groups, but not this one.

$oSkype.RecentChats reports all chats of that group with the name ("#xyz.dev/$febc24a082b613eb"), but all attempts at sending them a message with either $oSkype.SendMessage(...) or $oSkype.Client.OpenUserInfoDialog("#xyz.dev/$febc24a082b613eb") and similar fail.

Your function displayChatProperties($aChat) reports
(Label: some group of people - sensible easygoing chat.. (sun)

Is anybody aware of a special command to send a message to a multichat (I couldn't fond any in the Skype docs either)?

@guwguw
Maybe the UDF is deprecated due to new Skype functions.

The only way for me to help you would to test it, so add me in skype you will find my ID on my profile.

This is the solution for our friend :

#include "Skype.au3"

Global $aChat = _Skype_ChatGetActive(), $oChat

For $iChat = 0 To UBound($aChat) -1
 $oChat = $aChat[$iChat]
 If _Skype_ChatGetName($oChat) = "#abc.def/$febc24a082b613eb" Then ExitLoop ;we've found the chat name
Next

_Skype_ChatSendMessage($oChat, "test") ;send test to the chat

Be reminded that you must store the object in a variable before using it ! (it won't work if you use it directly with the array)

@everybody
New version available ! (see first post for update)

Hi, I am running Skype 6.0 on my W7.
your UDF doesn't work on autoit 64bit.

So you could put this line in your example script:

#AutoIt3Wrapper_UseX64=n

With that it works always well.

How do you use your UDF to make a VideoCall?
Thank you

I have just tested it and it won't work as you expected.

First, you have to make a simple call and when this one is in progress start the video.

Note that your contact will have to click on the webcam button to activate it on his side.

#include "Skype.au3"

_Skype_OnEventCallStatus("CallStatusEvent_InProgress", $cClsInProgress)

;~ _Skype_UserGetIsVideoCapable ;you can use it to check if the video call is possible

Global $oCall = _Skype_CallCreate("useridhere")

While 1
    Sleep(1000)
WEnd

Func CallStatusEvent_InProgress($oCall)
    _Skype_CallStartVideoSend($oCall)
    _Skype_CallStartVideoReceive($oCall)
EndFunc

Br, FireFox.

Thank you.
Another useful thing could be to determine which webcam to use/switch from the pc.

I am searching another thing: I would like to receive on my phone a call with more information just near the user name.
I have a prog that makes a call to phone from the pc and I want to recognize which action took place.

The only thing I got is make the call, answer it, then send a message during the call and open it to know the reason.
It could be a lot better if i could put the text near the user caller so I don't need to answer.

It needs the call because sending only the message doesn't make the cell ring loud and for some time.

Well, I don't think it's possible. You can get and set the video devices with the _Skype_[Set/Get]VideoIn functions.

I suggest you to list your video devices by switching them manually from Skype and then getting them with the _Skype_GetVideoIn func.

I think that Skype will return an error if you try to set a video device not connected.
In case it's not working you will have to use an external application to check the video device.

I don't understand what you mean by "more information" and "recognize which action".

SetVideoIn works well to select the correct webcam before starting the call, but it doesn't change the webcam during the call, like this:

_Skype_SetVideoIn('HP Webcam HD-4110')

_Skype_OnEventCallStatus("CallStatusEvent_InProgress", $cClsInProgress)
Global $oCall = _Skype_CallCreate("Francesem10")

While 1
    Sleep(30000)
    _Skype_SetVideoIn('Philips SPC 900NC PC Camera')
    _Skype_CallStartVideoSend($oCall)


WEnd

It blacks the pic for some seconds but then it continues with the first webcam.

While if I make these steps manually, it works also during a call:
Make call, options-> Video Settings ->select new webcam-> save webcam
then video->start video
the Videocall changes the webcam video.

I was thinking if there is something similar in skype4com, maybe it lacks the "start video" command to reinitialize the new webcam.

For the other problem, I mean: if I get action1 in the pc I will send a text like "action1 occurred", for action2 I will send "action2" and so on.
At this time i send this text in the instant message comunication after I answer the call.
I'm asking if it's possible to incorporate some text message directly near the user caller when the phone rings.

BTW:
there is a typo in the description of this func:
Func _Skype_CallStopVideoReceive($oCall)
it's called startVideo

It's maybe an API issue.

Try this (not tested) :

...
_Skype_OnEventCallVideoStatusChanged("CallVideoStatusEvent")

;your script with video call
$oCall = ...

Func CallVideoStatusEvent($oCall, $TCallVideoStatus)
    If $TCallVideoStatus = $cCvsBothEnabled Then
;~      _Skype_CallStopVideoSend($oCall) ;uncomment this in case the script does not work
;~      _Skype_CallStopVideoReceive($oCall) ;same

        _Skype_SetVideoIn(...)

        _Skype_CallStartVideoSend($oCall)
        _Skype_CallStartVideoReceive($oCall)
    EndIf
EndFunc

For the other problem, I mean: if I get action1 in the pc I will send a text like "action1 occurred", for action2 I will send "action2" and so on.

Hm... try _Skype_ProfileGet/SetMoodText, but I don't see the problem of sending a message (notifications?)

BTW:
there is a typo in the description of this func:
Func _Skype_CallStopVideoReceive($oCall)
it's called startVideo

Right, when you make a thousand of functions you just stop checking what you have done
