CHTSNAPZIP EXAMPLE [V10.23.01. 27.00]

Previous Page

This application illustrates how to incrorporate CHTSNAPZIP.EXE into a Clarion application via the global SNAP-IN interface template "CHT ApplicationSnapIns".

CHTSNAPZIP.EXE is a command-line utility that auto-zips a target directory while OPTIONALLY including any sub-directories of the source directory. CHTSNAPZIP.EXE also unzips to a target directory. This application illustrates how to do all of those things from inside a Clarion application using CHT Templates to write the code.

This application presents a SnapZipStartButton template and two input fields, a target zip file name field and a source directory name field. Complete these two fields and click the zip start button.

Other related templates used are SnapZipDirStartButton and SnapUnZipStartButton.

CHTSNAPZIP.EXE warns if the target zip file exists and if the source directory doesn't exist. Messages from CHTSNAPZIP.EXE appear in a window text control to tell you the outcome of pushing the zip button.

External binary dependencies: CHTSNAPZIP.EXE and HNDCAPCON.DLL
