Hello,

(1) How can I use Skype4COM.lib to launch a Skype Extra such as WhiteboardMeeting?

(2) What scripting languages would be most popular for Skype4COM.lib?

(3) Does anyone plan to build a Server Control for Skype4Com? If that is the case then we are liberate to use C# or any other managed language. Do I understand correctly?

Thanks in advance.

1. Currently there are no methods in Skype4COM or the API to launch other programs, other than the Skype Client.

2. JavaScript and VBScript.

3. Not sure what you mean by "Server Control"?

Here is an example that uses Skype4COM and supports all event handlers as of version 1.0.29.0 and it also shows many other things, like dealing with your program authorization by the Skype User as well as attachment logic and much more done using Microsoft Visual C# 2008 Express, which is free. This Example includes all source and project files as well:

I was confused with Windows Form programming with Web Form programming. When I said "Server Control" I meant Web Server Control, which is not what the Skype4COM for.

In fact, I tried, in my Visual Studio 2008, to insert a "Control" (Win form) after Skype4COM.lib installation like other COM object such as Windows Media Player. You know that Windows Media Player is not a .NET component but the Visual Studio allows it to be included as a Win Form Control. I tried the similar thing with the "Skype4COM" but it rather had frozen the Visual Studio. I guess I was again confused the Skype4COM.lib with Skype4COM.dll, which allows us to reference it from the Visual Studio like the Window Media Player.

You had an excellent document recently using Visual Studio 2008 for Skype4COM.lib and I am reading on it. Thank you.

Thank You,

Actually you should be able to add a web form using ActiveX like these examples in your C# project using a WebBrowser control, but you should be able to do almost anything in C# as well:
