Skype COM Examples - Skype4COMLib

[Airwolf 4]

I have manually converted all Skype4COMLib VBS examples (found HERE) to AutoIt. I have also created a UDF library - http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=75056.

IMPORTANT: Skype4Com.dll is automatically included together with Skype Extras Manager during Skype installation. If a user has unchecked Extras Manager during installation, Skype4Com library will be unavailable on that machine and these examples will not work.

Notes:

• All examples have had code added, if they did not already have it, to verify that Skype is running and a user is signed in.
• All examples use a Skype event handler to detect changes once attached to the Skype API.
• The COM Error handler for each example simply allows the script to continue, because the section that verifies a user is logged in will error on the first object until Skype is running (I'm working on fixing this so an error handler can be used properly).

If you find any errors or have any trouble, please feel free to send me a PM or post a reply to this thread, and I will help you as best I can.

Thanks and enjoy!

Andy

I know this seems like a dumb question, but do you have Skype installed?

[ofLight 1]

That was it, I had the old 2.2 installed. I upgraded to the current 3.8 and it is Workin

[Skrip 1]

This is great! I've needed these for awhile...just too lazy to make them. lol.

Thanks alot.

Great work Airwolf. thanks for sharing..

do you have functions to close windows?

the Quality feedback mgr keeps opening.. as well as the client when i'm in a call.

or do you suggest just using standard autoit window close calls?

thanks

You can use standard AutoIt window closes if you'd like, but I think the GroupChat.au3 example goes over opening and closing a chat window with multiple users. The same methods apply to a single chat aside from the opening part (a groupchat calls a window with a collection of members, whereas a standard chat calls a window aimed at one user).

Group Chat Example:

;// Create a UserCollection object and add the multichat users to this collection:
$oMembers = ObjCreate("Skype4COM.UserCollection")
$oMembers.Add($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.LeaveoÝ÷ ØZ½é÷öÛ^²×¶¬nëHÂ¥v))ÞÊ¢é]¢§jwjËZÖ«uÈZ¶X¤zʺÚ"µÍËËÈÜX]HHÝ[Ú]ÌÍÛÐÚ]H   ÌÍÛÔÚÞKÜX]PÚ]Ú]

For other types of windows, you'd have to know which method to call for the specific object type to close the window. It is a bit more complicated to close the windows with object methods than with AutoIt WinClose(), etc. Either way will work; the choice is yours.

hi there, i tryed the received.au3, but it didn´t work for me?! maybe someone else can check it please?!

i deleted some code from the received.au3 i didn´t need, for example "online check" and so on..

skype is online, Skype4COM.dll is in the same folder like the edited *.au3, *.au3 script is running,

some incoming chatevents on skype BUT it seems the code never jumped in one of these functions?!

Sending a msg with another autoit script to a specified user/chat works fine!

where is the mistake?! maybe someone can help please...

below the code:

$oSkype = ObjCreate("Skype4COM.Skype")

            $aMsg.Chat.SendMessage("You said [" & $aMsg.Body & "]")

no way to edit/delete post, sorry. problem solved!

Hello everybody. When running sms.au3, I am experiencing a similar problem to one addressed before, but don't know the solution. I get

Line 42 (File "C:\Users\Luis\Desktop\Docs\AutoIt\Sms.au3"):

If $oSkype.CurrentUserStatus = $oSkype.Convert.TextToUserStatus("ONLINE") Then

If ^ ERROR

Error: Error in expression.

Skype4COM.dll is is in the same folder as Sms.au3; and it is running fine.

I am new to Auotit and got it because I am trying to automate some functions in skype, and it looks like a variation of sms.au3 is what I need. I am using Skype 3.8.0.188

Any help is appreciated.

Regards

Im looking for a skype script that checks the chat for a particulart word and displays a messagebox, like there is a new message!.

I dont know whether this is included in the API.

Did you have $oSkype initialized? Like with

Global $oSkype = ObjCreate("Skype4COM.Skype")

How to get the name of a group?

Basic setup: groups get created and deleted as planned. But I am member of a group (which is always open & active) whose name does not show up in the resulting list of

For $oChat In $oSkype.ActiveChats

$msgstring = $msgstring & @CR & $oChat.Timestamp & " by " & $oChat.Name & " friendlyName:" & $oChat.FriendlyName

Next

nor does it show in

For $oGroup In $oSkype.CustomGroups

or

$oSkype.HardwiredGroups

Sending a message to individual participants using

$oSkype.SendMessage("individual_user", "Wishing you a nice weekend!")

works fine.

But sending

$oSkype.SendMessage("group_name", "Wishing you all a nice weekend!")

or

$ichat.SendMessage("group_name", "Wishing you all a nice weekend!")

gets executed, but shows no new entry on the chat window. I already had renamed the group from a rather long name to a very simple one, but to no avail ...

There is a function Skype_GroupVisible($aGroup, $aVisible) available in the groups.au3 script, but I have no idea how to apply that to a group that is not listed in the above results.

Is there another way of finding out the name of the group (that is listed in the contact list)?

Hi,

Try this :

#include "Skype.au3"

Local $oActiveChats = _Skype_ChatGetActive()
_List($oActiveChats)

ConsoleWrite("!---------------------------" & @CrLf)

Local $oAllChats = _Skype_ChatGetAll()
_List($oAllChats)

Func _List($oChats)
If IsArray($oChats) Then
Local $oChat

For $iChat = 0 To UBound($oChats) -1
$oChat = $oChats[$iChat]

Local $aMembers = _Skype_ChatGetMembers($oChat)

Local $sUsersFullNames
For $iUser = 2 To $aMembers[0] - 1 ;0: number of members, 1: yourself
$sUsersFullNames &= _Skype_UserGetFullName($aMembers[$iUser]) & ", "
Next

ConsoleWrite("Chat " & $iChat & ": " & _Skype_ChatGetName($oChat) _
& @CrLf & "Members: " & StringTrimRight($sUsersFullNames, 2) _
& @crlf & "Description: " & _Skype_ChatGetDescription($oChat) & @CrLf & @CrLf)
Next
EndIf
EndFunc

The Skype UDF is in my signature.
