Compressing from file to file (VC++ example)
Examples > Compressing from file to file (VC++ example)

Here are two examples for compressing from file to file. One for compression, the other for decompression.

VC++ - Compression Copy Code

// This code uses the #import directive.
// Put the following line at the beginning of your module
// #import "XCEEDSCO.DLL" no_namespace named_guids 

CoInitialize( NULL ); 

try
{
  IXceedStreamingCompressionPtr piComp; 
  piComp.CreateInstance( CLSID_XceedStreamingCompression ); 
  piComp->License( _bstr_t( L"your license key ) ); 

  IXceedBZip2CompressionFormatPtr piBZip2; 
  piBZip2.CreateInstance( CLSID_XceedBZip2CompressionFormat );  

  piComp->CompressionFormat = IXceedCompressDataPtr( piBZip2 );  

  DWORD dwBytesRead; 
  DWORD dwBytesWritten;  

  piComp->ProcessFile( "c:\\temp\\source.txt", 0, 0, cfpCompress,
                       TRUE, "c:\\temp\\compressed.cmp", FALSE, &dwBytesRead, &dwBytesWritten );  

  MessageBox( NULL, "File compressed successfully", "Compression result", MB_OK ); 
}
catch( const _com_error& xErr )
{
  char szMsg[50]; 
  wsprintf( szMsg, "Error %08x\n", xErr.Error() ); 
  MessageBox( NULL, szMsg, "Error", MB_OK ); 
}
catch( ... )
{
  MessageBox( NULL, "Unknown error", "Error", MB_OK ); 

CoUninitialize();

VC++ - Decompression Copy Code

// This code uses the #import directive.
// Put the following line at the beginning of your module

#import "XCEEDSCO.DLL" no_namespace named_guids 

CoInitialize( NULL ); 

try
{
  IXceedStreamingCompressionPtr piComp; 
  piComp.CreateInstance( CLSID_XceedStreamingCompression ); 
  piComp->License( _bstr_t( L"your license key ) ); 

  IXceedBZip2CompressionFormatPtr piBZip2; 
  piBZip2.CreateInstance( CLSID_XceedBZip2CompressionFormat );  

  piComp->CompressionFormat = IXceedCompressDataPtr( piBZip2 );  

  DWORD dwBytesRead; 
  DWORD dwBytesWritten;  

  piComp->ProcessFile( "c:\\temp\\compressed.cmp", 0, 0, cfpDecompress,
                       TRUE, "c:\\temp\\decompressed.txt", FALSE,
                       &dwBytesRead, &dwBytesWritten );  

  MessageBox( NULL, "File decompressed successfully", "Decompression result", MB_OK ); 
}
catch( const _com_error& xErr )
{
  char szMsg[50]; 
  wsprintf( szMsg, "Error %08x\n", xErr.Error() ); 
  MessageBox( NULL, szMsg, "Error", MB_OK ); 
}
catch( ... )
{
  MessageBox( NULL, "Unknown error", "Error", MB_OK ); 

CoUninitialize();
