ActiveS™

Introduction

ActiveS 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 licensed using a BSD-style license. You can use the library without referring to it in your application or its documentation

Quick Start

Download and install the installation file below
