// Visual C++ Example Source Code 
// to create a Password-Protected Zip file
//

#include "stdafx.h"

#include "CkZip.h"
#include "CkZipEntry.h"

int APIENTRY WinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance,
                     HINSTANCE hPrevInstance,
                     LPSTR     lpCmdLine,
                     int       nCmdShow)
{
    // Unlock the Zip product.
    // This only needs to be done once when the first CkZip object
    // is instantiated.
    CkZip zip;
    zip.UnlockComponent("unlockCode");

    // Create a new Zip and append files and directories recursively.
    zip.NewZip("myZip.zip");
    zip.AppendFiles("./Tree/*",true,0);

    // Set the options to Zip with standard Zip password protection.
    // This is the same password protection used by programs
    // such as WinZip.
    zip.put_PasswordProtect(true);
    zip.SetPassword("myPassword");

    zip.WriteZipAndClose(0);

    return 0;
