The following code uses the Zip method to compress the file "c:\test\my file.dat" into the zip file "c:\test\my test.zip". You should check the Zip method's return value once you are done – if it is xerSuccess
, the operation was successful. Otherwise, look up the error code in the error codes topic to find out what went wrong. The following code assumes you placed a button and an Xceed Zip control on a form and named them Button1 and XceedZip1 respectively.

procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
var ResultCode: xcdError;
begin
XceedZip1.License( 'your license key' );
{ All properties keep their default values except the two below }
XceedZip1.FilesToProcess := 'c:\test\my file.dat';
XceedZip1.ZipFilename := 'c:\test\my test.zip';
{ Start zipping }
ResultCode := XceedZip1.Zip;
{ Check the return value. If ResultCode = xerSuccess, it worked,
otherwise, display a message box that with a description of
the error. Use the GetErrorDescription function. }
