XAML Copy Code

Sub Command1_Click() 

   Dim ResultCode As xcdError  

   Call XceedZip1.License( "your license key" ) 

   ' All properties keep their default values except the two below 
   XceedZip1.FilesToProcess = "*.txt" 
   XceedZip1.ZipFilename = "c:\test\my test.zip"  

   ' Start the delete operation 
   ResultCode = XceedZip1.RemoveFiles  

   ' Check the return value. 
   If ResultCode <> xerSuccess Then 
      MsgBox "Unsuccessful. Error # " & Str(nErr) & " occurred." 
   Else 
      MsgBox "File(s) successfully deleted." 
   End If 
End Sub
