Skype API COM Wrapper

Skype API COM Wrapper

"The SkypeAPI COM wrapper is an ActiveX 'layer' around the Skype API (documentation here). It's designed to make it simpler for COM-client development environments (VB, .NET, etc.) to communicate with Skype
Some of the API's features include

Easily manages sending messages to and from Skype (no need to deal with WM_COPYDATA command)
Event triggers for changes in online status, call status, etc.
Enumerated types defined so you don't have to hardcode strings in your app
Collection classes defined so you can easily deal with lists (i.e. For-Each support)

The API is free to use in your app (commercial or otherwise). You can distribute the compiled .DLL with your app, but may not redistribute the source code. You can use the library without referring to it in your application or its documentation

Skype is a cool VOIP application that works very well. My wife and I use it quite a bit (even when we're both home... Why get up from the PC's when we can just Skype each other? :)

It recently added a public C++ API. Now someone has created a COM wrapper.

That's cool... Time to start writing Skype things.
