Does no one know how to do this D: ?

This is because you use clipboard, not read a message...

What do you mean?

Sergey Alexandrovich Kryukov 30-Jan-13 17:00pm

I mean that you explicitly use the Clipboard method (unrelated to Skype) and express surprise that it "all it does is copies". Doesn't to look strange? What else would you expect?
Or you still want a clipboard copy, but of something else? Then you question looks ambiguous...

You are a bit confusing... Look this is what i am trying to do ---->
If i receive a message from any of my contacts for instance echo123 THEN
With a click of a button it will connect to my Skype, in a combobox i will select a person, then it will go to the chat and will copy the last message i received to my clipboard

Btw i am also Russian :D

And that means what? You can't read your own code??

Look at what you're checking in the IF statement and then look at what you passed in the call to SetText. It's bloody frickin' obvious!

Exactly i know that it is wrong and it cant work thats why i am here asking for help if you dont know how to do this go on with your life and dont judge me.... If you know this then help me out. Thanks

You are getting offended by a reasonable criticism. How can you call yourself Russian after that? :-)
And no matter what you cultural background are, you should not be that rude.

Essentially, you send the following signal: "Your message is unpleasant to me, so shut up". Don't you understand that's not acceptable? By the way, Dave would not make your mistake; and would solve the problem in no time; yes, I'm pretty much sure...

He wouldnt just like you can't... If he knew how to solve it he would help me out, same thing with you while you are taking your time and unpleasantly criticizing me there are 600 people waiting me to update my program :(

If you would please help me out, that would be very helpful.

Sergey Alexandrovich Kryukov 31-Jan-13 0:40am

This is not his fault. Maybe yours?...
If something is unpleasant to you, you should not consider it wrong. By such reaction, you completely close all your ways to any progress.

I don't know this API, sorry, but you can easily lookup it by yourself, can you? (Is it https://developer.skype.com/accessories/skype4com?)

:/ i did not just look on the website but also am registered there for a while + have a post with same question.

I am not considering your criticizing wrong i am considering it a little too time consuming :P

Sergey Alexandrovich Kryukov 31-Jan-13 1:14am

Time consuming what — out pointless talking? I would agree...

Solution 2

The expression SKYPE4COMLib.TChatMessageStatus.cmsSent is a boolean, so it returns true or false. You need to copy the actual message content from wherever you have saved it.

I found:
https://developer.skype.com/accessories/skype4com[^].

It has the class ChatMessage with the implemented interface IChatMessage. As I can see, this class and interface represent the message, nothing else. And it has the member BSTR Body which you probably need.

Do with this message body whatever you need.
