(Visual Basic 6.0) Deflate File
Demonstrates how to use the Deflate compression algorithm to compress a file. (The deflate compression algorithm is the most commonly used in the Zip archive file format.)
This code is capable of compressing any size file because the file data is compressed from input to output in a streaming mode. The output file contains only the deflated data (it is not a .zip, and there is no file structure or format).
' This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
' See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.
Dim compress As New ChilkatCompression
compress.Algorithm = "deflate"
' Deflate this XML file:
Dim success As Long
success = compress.CompressFile("hamlet.xml","hamletDeflate.dat")
If (success <> 1) Then
Debug.Print compress.LastErrorText
Exit Sub
End If
' Inflate back to the original:
success = compress.DecompressFile("hamletDeflate.dat","hamletInflated.xml")
If (success <> 1) Then
Debug.Print compress.LastErrorText
Exit Sub
End If
Debug.Print "Success!"
