Making Skype phone calls and sms

[AHF]

I've been trying with the code below but it doesn't work.

FUNCTION PhoneTO(cPhone,cNome,cComment)
Local oSkype,oCall,oUser


cPhone := alltrim(cPhone)

Try
oSkype := CreateObject("Skype4COM.Skype")
Catch
alert("Skype4Com não está instalado!")
return
End

If .not. oSkype:Client:IsRunning()
MsgRun("Informação","Activando o Skipe",{||oSkype:Client:Start()})
Endif

Try
oCall := oSkype:PlaceCall(cphone)
Catch
MsgInfo("Chamada falhada! Telefone: "+cPhone)
return 0
End

oSkype := Nil
RETURN 1

I get the following error :

Args:
[ 1] = C 'echo123'
argumentos { 'echo123' }
descrição E_FAIL
ficheiro <nenhuma>
genCode 41: Unknown or reserved
operação PLACECALL
osCode (Não é erro do sistema operativo)
severity 2
subCode 16389
subSystem SKYPE4COM.Skype

Does anyone knows how to work with it ?
I've chech already this newsgroup but the code I've found it's for old API.

Dear AHF,

Try

oCall := oSkype:SendSms(cPhone, cComment)

Code: Select all  Expand view

oCall := oSkype:PlaceCall(cphone)

I would suggest a own forum for the SMS and phone stuff also outlook.
I think this becomes a very important theme in future and it would be easier for someone who starts if all the information is sorted.
At the moment I don’t need this info’s but I know I will need this in near future.

Hi Antonio,

I think this is you want it.

http://www.fivetech.com.tw/big5/FWH-ActiveX-Skype.html

I use ActiveX to call Skype ActiveX and direct call within contract name or phone number. Runing OK. If you use hardware device PHONE no problem.

Regards,

Richard

How did you solve it ? thanks,

From Skype last version you need to give permission to any program to use skype api. You can do it on :

Tools -> Options -> Advanced

Otherwise all the api requests will be rejected.

It seems next version will return to the way it was before (no permisson necessary) because of the claims.

By the way, the code has the following diference to the one post previously :

oUser:= oSkype:user(cPhone)
oCall := oSkype:PlaceCall(oUser:Handle)

It works perfectly. And it can process a call to a number or if you have the skype user name to a user directly (no cost involved).

In order to avoid any errors the phone number must be in the following format :

"+"country code+phone number without spaces.

If you have "00" in the number it must be taken out.

I'll post the complete code as soon I have it finnished.

Hope this will help.

Below is the code to make phone calls and send sms through skype.
Function Countrycode() not included.

Hope you'll enjoy it.
