React on incomming Skype calls with ActiveS with code sample

Description of the problem - register incomming Skype calls

Skype allows you to register for incomming calls - you can decide if you wanna take the call or not. ActiveS is a wrapper that allows you to control Skype through an easy API.

Solution: register incomming Skype calls ( C# and .NET )

try {
    // initialize Skype / ActiveS
    ConversionClass m_objConversion = new ConversionClass();
    AccessClass m_objAccess = new AccessClass();
    // register event handler that listens on status changes of calls
    m_objAccess.CallStatusChanged += new _IAccessEvents_CallStatusChangedEventHandler(Skype_CallStatusChanged);
    // connect to Skype
    m_objAccess.Connect();
} catch (Exception e) {
    Console.WriteLine(e.Message);
}


// our event handler
void Skype_CallStatusChanged(SKYPEAPILib.Call call, SKYPEAPILib.SkypeCallProgress callProgress)
{
    if (callProgress.Equals(SKYPEAPILib.SkypeCallProgress.prgRinging) && call.Type.Equals(SkypeCallType.ctypIncomingP2P))
    {
        // display message box to ask user
        MessageBox.Show("Do you wanna take that call from " + call.PartnerDisplayName + "?",
            "Incomming Skype-call from " + call.PartnerDisplayName,
            MessageBoxButtons.YesNo,
            MessageBoxIcon.Question);


        // if user answered no, hang up call
        if(res.Equals(DialogResult.No))
        {
            call.Status = SKYPEAPILib.SkypeCallProgress.prgFinished;
        }
        else
        {
            call.Status = SKYPEAPILib.SkypeCallProgress.prgInProgress;
        }
    }
}
