Question:
Can any one suggest me how to integrate Skype into SalesLogix windows client?
Answer:
If it is just outgoing calls, this can help you get started http://www.codeproject.com/KB/cs/skypecontrolapicsharp.aspx You will have to use a .net extension, but it should still be possible.
A quick and easy way would be to add the following to the script:
Sub SkypeCall(ByVal PhoneNumber)Dim shell Set shell = CreateObject(“WScript.Shell”) shell.Run “callto:” & PhoneNumber, 1, false Set shell = NothingEnd Sub
Then you can create the phone numbers as hyperlinks or add buttons to pass the phone numbers to this sub like:
SkypeCall txtPhoneNumber.Text
There is an ActiveX COM Object on the Skype website which I have used successful within SalesLogix a few years ago:
