attaching windows service to skype Public Api

I need to capture the Skype Event through Windows Service.Skype like Call etc.

I am trying to register the Skype Notification but it failing.

Whether Windows Service allows Registering Skype Event or not?If not how can we achieve this.

Solution

  • Windows service in general allows to register events from Skype but first you must define:

    1) Are you going to use Skype4COM (Desktop API) to communicate with one of standard Skype clients.

    2) OR are you going to build your own Skype client using SkypeKit SDK?

    The case 1 allows exchanging data only if some Skype client is running

    but case 2 can work even while no user is logged in but it requires much more effort.
