I am trying to write an app that will detect when there is an incoming call from skype, answer the call, the toggle a pin on my parallel port (for linking with ham radio).

I am using VB and SkypeX but have not worked out a way to actually find out when a call is coming in. Answering a call requires a call ID, but how can I find the call ID?

I have concluded that either I am thick or that this is hard to do.

suggestions welcome.

There is an example using Skype4COM that does pretty much the same you are trying to do:

Thank you for that link. I got the code going in VB.NET with the following ammendments:

Replace

CODE

Set oSkype = WScript.CreateObject("Skype4COM.Skype","Skype_")

with

CODE

Dim WithEvents oSkype As New SKYPE4COMLib.Skype

putting this inside the Form1_Load Sub

CODE

If Not oSkype.Client.IsRunning Then

oSkype.Client.Start()

End If

oSkype.Attach

and removing this section

CODE

Do While True

WScript.Sleep(60000)

Loop
