* This example assumes the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
* See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

loXmp = CreateObject('Chilkat.Xmp')

* Load a JPG or TIF image file.
lnSuccess = loXmp.LoadAppFile("qa_data/xmp/AJ_123642_1511.tif")
IF (lnSuccess <> 1) THEN
    ? loXmp.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loXmp
    CANCEL

? "Num embedded XMP docs: " + STR(loXmp.NumEmbedded)

* This example assumes that XMP metadata is already present in the image file.
IF (loXmp.NumEmbedded = 0) THEN
    ? "No XMP metadata already exists.."
    RELEASE loXmp
    CANCEL
ENDIF

* Get the XMP metadata.

loXml = loXmp.GetEmbedded(0)

* Show the XML:
? loXml.GetXml()

* Update (overwrite) a string property.
