You can also set Skype properties (change the way your name appears in Skype, change your “mood” message, etc). You can also read the Address List from Skype (who’s in your address book, who’s online, who’s away, etc). You can even create menus in Skype, and when users click on those menus your Clarion EXE will be notified so that it can react!!
You can call Skype from any procedure, across any thread! You can even have multiple Skype objects running simultaneously! We take care of all the complexities for you. Just drop in the J-Skype template and you’re ready!
Didn’t I see something similar on Clarion Magazine?
Yes! Dave Harms from Clarion Magazine wrote an article on using the Skype API in Dec 2004. A number of users contacted us after Dave published his article asking us to expand that code into a full-blown product, which is what we did. J-Skype is actually a joint product between StrategyOnline and Clarion Magazine.

DebugView is a free application that you can download from Microsoft, which enables you to view debug output from our products. This can be very helpful in tracking down problems.
By default, our products do not generate debug messages, so you will not see anything in DebugView. To enable debug messages, simpy tick the "Send messages to DebugView" option found on each of products' Global Extension Templates, as shown below.
Once you have turned on the "Send messages to DebugView" option, recompile and run your APP. You should then see messages appearing in DebugView.
Our 3rdParty documentation is now available from within the Clarion 7 IDE.
