Yes, I already looked at it. It uses Windows Messaging. There is a COM wrapper produced by Skype called Skype4COM that I have. So far I have this:

public class SkypeAPI
{
    public void MakeCall()
    {
        SKYPE4COMLib.Skype skype = new SKYPE4COMLib.Skype();

        if(! skype.Client.IsRunning)
        {
            skype.Client.Start(false, true);
        }
        
        skype.Attach(7, true);

        Call call = null;

        try
        {
            call = skype.PlaceCall("Office", null, null, null);
        }
        catch(Exception e)
        {
            throw e;
        }

        string CallFailureReason = skype.Convert.CallFailureReasonToText(call.FailureReason);
        MessageBox.Show(CallFailureReason);

        if (call.Status != TCallStatus.clsFailed)
        {
            call.Finish();
        }
    }
}

CallFailureReason is coming back as "User is offline" or "Misc error". There is very little documentation that I can find, so I'm sort of stuck here.

There are some C# examples here, https://developer.skype.com/Docs/Skype4COM/Example, but none that place a call.
