// Create a Skype4COM object:
var oSkype = new ActiveXObject("Skype4COM.Skype");

// Query the total number of missed messages:
WScript.Echo("Total missed message count: " + oSkype.MissedMessages.Count);

This code returns a zero [0] when 3 missed calls [caller ID (3)] is being being reported by Skypes Display consisting of a [Flag Icon] + the text '3 new events'.

What I require the code to return is the number of outstanding events [not cleared by the user].

oSkype.MissedCalls.Count is for calls NOT oSkype.MissedMessages.Count which is for chats.

Thanks for that both functions work perfectly.

I tried to download the new Skype4Com documentation but after it unzipped all I got was a flashing browser window [both Windows and Safari] which I could not resolve without rebooting my Desktop.

Ant..

Yes. I had the same problem, try viewing the documentation ("For Now") from the zipped file, it worked for me this way.

Ok I have got 'oSkype.MissedCalls.Count' and 'oSkype.MissedCalls.Count' working as previously reported on thing that I missed was New Voicemail
is the syntax for counting New voicemail 'oSkype.Voicemail.Count'? Ant..

oSkype.Voicemails.Count

Thanks for that is there anything else I should be counting?

Skype4COM documentation can be found here:

These counters are all ISkype counters ("Listed under").
