Skype API Message output

Question

How can I receive and output message from Skype to my application (textbox1.Text)? I was looking for it in skype4com documentation but didn\'t find anything.

To listen for chat messages you can do something like this:

//First make a reference to skype4com, probably in here: C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Skype
//Then use the following code:
using System;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using SKYPE4COMLib;

namespace Skype
{
    public partial class Form1 : Form
    {
        private SKYPE4COMLib.Skype skype;

        public Form1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
            skype = new SKYPE4COMLib.Skype();
            skype.Attach(7, false);
            skype.MessageStatus += new _ISkypeEvents_MessageStatusEventHandler(skype_MessageStatus);
        }

        private void skype_MessageStatus(ChatMessage msg, TChatMessageStatus status)
        {
            string message = msg.Sender + ": " + msg.Body;
            listBox1.Items.Add(message);
        }
    }
}
