Hello!
I want to automate using of Skype (searching for users, instant messages sending) and I wonder how to do this. I thought AutoIt would work, but I guess I have been wrong...
Can somebody give me a hint about how to do this work? I prefer the easiest way, and I am not pretty sure that in Visual Basic (or Visual C#) it will be so easy. So, please, tell me how would you do that.
Thank you in advance! Have a nice day!

If you have Skype downloaded on your computer you'll find a Skype class in the COM references list. With that class you can do most of the things that you normally can do in Skype.

Okay ;) I found that class (SKYPE4COMLib.dll), I added it, but I still have problems. I wrote this:

Skype Skype1 = new Skype();
Skype1.SendMessage("somebody", "HELLO!");
/I actually did a C# project/
It compiles, but does not do anything. Can you help?

I haven't found a way to use the Skype class to actually connect to the Skype database, you have to start skype first(I haven't personally found another way to do it). Could this be teh problem?

[Rooonaldinho]

I first started it manually. Was that wrong?

hmm... Then it's strange... :confused:

Are you sure you wrote the correct username? (I'm afraid this is the only thing I can think of right now)

If you want you can try send to me if you don't have anyone to send to...

Skype1.SendMessage("vsweprograms", "HELLO!");
