Hello,

I just want to know is it possible to disable all notificaton of skype

through C#.Net Programming. If it it possible how to do that.

Notifications like incoming call etc.


Thanks in Advance.

Rahul R. Kulkarni.

Hello Rahul,

With the most recent Beta release (2.6.0.97) you can use a command Silent Skype:

SET SILENT_MODE {ON |OFF}

This simple command offers powerful opportunities to develop games and other applications to use Skype without interruptions from the client by hiding and showing the Skype UI.

Dear Mirje,

My Skype sersion is 2.5.0.146. I've just updated newest version from Skype. But I can't use this command.


or:

It seems that you have a small typo in the command The right way to use it would be like this:

SET SILENT_MODE ON

Hi, I have a problem with this command, when i send the command SET SILENT_MODE ON a skype notification appears, and says "Confirm Silent Mode, the application is trying to run Skype in the background....etc" and it has accept or cancel buttons. What I can do to hide it ? or to accept the message?

Thanks!!!

That notification is there to make sure that the customer knows what is going on with his Skype and he has to manually accept it. There's also information how to turn the silent mode off, when he wants to receive notifications again. It's not possible to accept this by using the API.

Dear Mirje,

I login to Skype and use SkypeTracer to test this command, but I receive the error command.



You can see the error from here: http://buonduale.net/images/Skype/SkypeSilentMode.gif
Please let me know,

Many thanks,

Is there going to be a possibility to turn this notification off.
I don't realy see whats the point of silent off and advantage of automating skype
if I have to manualy accept this?

You could at least add a confirmation box (like when application is attaching to skype)
to allow this aplication to turn on silent mode in the future without confirmation.

The commands GET SILENT_MODE and SET SILENT_MODE OFF|ON only work with Skype 2.6.0.97 or newer.
Have you downloaded the Beta version?

Actually I just tested myself and this command is working just fine with the SkypeTracer. spud5 is probably right and the problem was the the latest Beta was not used.

More information about this. It's been decided in higher level that this message should appear every time the silent mode is switched on because the user must always be aware that he runs Skype in silent mode.

Regarding that confirmation dialog doesn't have "Do not show this message again" checkbox - this is intentional and it's a security issue.

You should be able to change the text of the dialogue box from the language file.

Thats nice and all, but the user is me
I allready know I'm going to run it in silent mode, because
I wrote the program in .NET that I'm going to use to expand
Skypes usage

In the moment SILENT_MODE ON for advanced developers out there that are thursty
after Skype without GUI interface was a bright star on the night sky, but now it turned
out to be just a falling star. For those who need GUIless interface adding SILENT_MODE
is useless

Hello again, I want to develop an application on skype with c# and the application is for blind person and old people. The application runs with a touch screen and it has big buttons and it is simplest possible.
When the application connects with the skype in silent mode,it appears the message.What can i do for changes the buttons or more big buttons? Because i know message box must appears.

thanks.Excuse me for my english, i am spanish

This feature request has been added to Jira now - https://developer.skype.com/jira/browse/SPA-198

I will see what can be done about it, but please don't get your hopes up too high. Please feel free to Vote for that Jira issue so that I would have some good ground to make the developers see that it's a very requested feature.

Hi,

I don't want to open a new thread for my problem which is also related to SilentMode, so I hijack this one .

I'm trying to control Skype from an application written in Delphi 6. It works pretty good, the only thing I can't get rid of is that if I set SilentMode = true on startup, the application hangs for a while, then it tells me "Error initializing Skype: Wait timeout" and then runs properly.

Why is this and how can I get rid of it?

The latest 3.5 release .214 fixes this timeout problem. Silent mode actually still gets set, but there was a bug in the API logic that it did not return a command line ID # so Skype4COM could not link up the API repsonse when setting Silent mode. This caused the Skype4COM silent mode request to timeout, but it still was being set to true or false.
