Hi all,

Does anyone have a working example on how to test a zip file using API?

I am using XzTestZipFile function but it does not work.

Thank you all,
Date

Programming with: Visual Basic 6, Xceed Compression Library 6.0, using API Calls.

To test the validity of a zip archive using the Xceed Zip compression library, you should use the TestZipFile method as explained in the online documentation available at the page:

http://doc.xceedsoft.com/products/Xceedzip/TestZipFile_method.html.

Find next an example code on how to implement in VB:

Sub Command1_Click()

   Dim ResultCode As xcdError 

   Call XceedZip1.License( "your license key" )

   ' Set the name and path of the zip file to test

   XceedZip1.ZipFilename = "c:\test\zip.zip" 

   ' Start testing the file (we use True here so that we also test the actual compressed data, not just the zip file's structure)

   ResultCode = XceedZip1.TestZipFile(True) 

   ' Check the return value 

   If ResultCode <> xerSuccess Then

      MsgBox "Unsuccessful. Error #" & Str(ResultCode) & " occurred. " & "Description: " & _

             XceedZip1.GetErrorDescription(xvtError, ResultCode)

   Else

      MsgBox "The tested zip file is completely error-free."

   End If

End Sub
