Skype4COM capturing events

maximus-asoi has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Please tell me anybody about Skype4com. I try sample code and can make a call to friends from script. But I can`t capture events from skype with Skype4com and Win32::OLE. Code, with I try to capture events is:

use Win32::OLE qw(EVENTS);
$sk=Win32::OLE->new("Skype4COM.Skype") || die "Coudn`t connect $!";
Win32::OLE->WithEvents($sk,\&Eve,"_ISkypeEvents");
$sk->Attach();
$user=$sk->CurrentUser();
$sts=$sk->Convert->OnlineStatusToText($user->OnlineStatus);
print "Current user: " . $user->{FullName} . " is " . "$sts\n";
Win32::OLE->MessageLoop();
sub Eve
{
    my($msg,$stat,@args)=@_;
    print "Event triggered\n";
    exit 0;
}
exit 0;

Look on CPAN first mate: Skype. Returns these two modules: Win32::Skype SkypeAPI The former looks promising	[reply]

It`s not that I want. I saw it resources but with this classes I can`t listen the events from skype... Isn`t it? May be I am wrong...	[reply]

Win32::Skype uses Win32::OLE, though no event listening code has been written, it would look like yours (WithEvents ...) SkypeApi interfaces using c/xs, and has register_handler/listen, which the documentation says are used to listen/respond to events. So both could work, like your code, but all require that you reference the skype4com documentation. See http://developer.skype.com/accessories, Skype4COM Event Handler Example for ALL Skype API Messages See also all of these, they can all help with automation, so you might as well get them all now :) WinSpy OLESPY Win32::OLE - Type Library Browser http://www.microsoft.com/com/ OLE/COM Object Viewer (oleview.exe) Scriptomatic 2.0 #develop	[reply]
