Dear All,

I am working on CMS, and I need to call the selected number from the application itself using an icon.

Like there will be a phone number beside it there will be icon, when user clicks on the icon, the phone automatically gets rung. no need open skype or something like that. The skype will be opened itself. Please help me, for both mac and windows.

1) Add a Web Viewer to your layout. It can be so small as to be invisible or hidden on a tab control.

2) Name it. E.g. "viewer.Skype"

3 ) Write a script that sets a variable $number to the phone number and then: Set Web Viewer [ viewer.Skype ; "callto://" & $number ] .

David, this is not working up to the mark....

See if this helps:

Hi

Callto option may not work any longer as there are some legal issues with skype using it. I spoke to skype support and they said you can use this format (see below). It works for me but you need to make sure your are signed into your skype account already and you have to include the country code as part of the number. Just load this into your webviewer or use open URL. Hope this helps

skype:$yournumber

It is working. Thanks David. It was possible by using your tricks only.
