Possible to manipulate a Skype TChatContentControl?

[Herb191]

I am playing around with Skype and I wanted to see if I could write a small program that would filter incoming and outgoing messages but I am not aware of anyway to interact with a TChatContentControl.

Check out this page. I don't have Skype so I haven't tried it.

Edit: Ok, try this code and see what it does. Keep in mind that I don't have Skype so I'm coding blindly here:

Edit: I didn't actually code this. I just converted it to AutoIt.

Thanks LaCastiglione.

Unfortunately it returns a “Could not find a chat window” massage.

You may have a problem with this. If I'm not mistaken Skype was written in Delphi and there are times when it's near impossible to get decent results when trying to automate anything to do with Delphi windows or controls.

Of course now that Microsoft owns Skype that may all change in the not too distant future.
