title: Controlling Skype via its Skype4COM.dll COM API
body: <p>I'm working with the <a href="https://developer.skype.com/Docs/Skype4COM" rel="noreferrer">Skype4COM.dll COM API</a> using C# and it works very well for all of the communication functionality we need. We are trying to put an easier to use interface on top of Skype that is baked into our application. </p>
  
  <p>My trouble lies in controlling or disabling which Skype windows to use and not use. The only Skype window I believe I'll need is the Skype video phone/conference window. I would like to hide and control every other window that Skype can present. I would even like to disable the incoming call dialog window that pops up on incoming calls, since we'll be presenting our own answer prompt. I'm happy with the API except window management. </p>
  
  <p>With the API, I can see how to enable Windows, but I can't seem to figure out how to hide them, short of hacking a windows message to the Skype app. Am I missing something?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks for your assistance, Kenny</p>
