Hi, i've been programing for a long time in Delphi, but only Stand Alone apps.....never something that interacts with another software....can some just point me in the right direction here? Does someone has a sample project in delphi just to get started with WM_Data thing and u know, to start using all the comands......can someone help me?

There are two options.

1) Somewhere out there on the net is a native Delphi component that encapsulates the Skype API. However, last time I looked I couldn't find it. And I'm not sure it's being updated. The copy I have supports Protocol 3 but not beyond that. If you're Delphi skills are good, you could really help the community by taking this forward.

2) Probably easier and better supported is to import the Skype4Com Com control and use that. Although there's not a lot of documententation, Delphi shows the main properties and events and code suggest makes it fairly easy to match up with the API docs.

Skype could help us all here by producing or getting produced some native libraries for the major platforms. A COM control is a good half way house to this, but native code is going to be smaller and faster.

well, i investigated, i got a few pointers, so i guess i'll make a demo app in delphi explaining how to deal with all the notifications, events and changing settings and stuff....just in case someone like me comes later.....
