$oSkype =  ObjCreate("Skype4COM.Skype", "Skype_")
GUICtrlSetData($Label2, $oSkype.CurrentUser())

It fails on the 2nd line.

C:\Program Files\AutoIt3\skype_control.au3 (52) : ==> Variable must be of type "Object".:

GUICtrlSetData($Label2, $oSkype.CurrentUser())

GUICtrlSetData($Label2, $oSkype^ ERROR

Why does this not work?

EDIT: And do I need the dll to use the COM? ( https://developer.skype.com/Download?action...OM-1.0.28.0.zip )

$oSkype =  ObjCreate("Skype4COM.Skype", "Skype_")
GUICtrlSetData($Label2, $oSkype.CurrentUser())

Should it be

GUICtrlSetData($Label2, $oSkype.CurrentUser)?

EDIT: And do I need the dll to use the COM?

I don't know anything about the Skype API but I would expect that you need to register the dll with regsvr32.

@Firestorm.

This is all can offer.

; Create a Skype4COM object:
$oSkype = ObjCreate("Skype4COM.Skype") 

If Not $oSkype.Client.IsRunning Then 
    $oSkype.Client.Start() 
EndIf


; Create a UserCollection object and add the multichat users to this collection:
$oMembers = ObjCreate("Skype4COM.UserCollection")
$oMembers.Add($oSkype.User("skypeuser1"))
$oMembers.Add($oSkype.User("skypeuser2"))
$oMembers.Add($oSkype.User("skypeuser3"))

; Create a multichat:
$oChat = $oSkype.CreateChatMultiple($oMembers) 

; Open a chat window:
$oChat.OpenWindow() 

; Set a chat topic:
$oChat.Topic = "Skype is cool"


; Send a chat message:
$oMsg = $oChat.SendMessage("Greetings!")

; Leave a chat:
$oChat.Leave

Thanks alot, but can I ask where you got those object names from? I don't see them in the docs.

After your ObjCreate I would also recommend:

If Not IsObj($oSkype) Then ConsoleWrite("Object Creation Failed" & @CR)

Which would have caught the problem you had with your original code...

Google is your friend.

And sometimes some tools can help.

In my sig you find an object browser to look for methods and properties of a Com object.

The Skype COM DLL is found on your system : C:\PROGRA~1\COMMON~1\Skype\SKYPE4~1.DLL

In my sig you find an object browser to look for methods and properties of a Com object.

Or you can always go with the classic OLE-COM Object Viewer.
