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

    // Build a simple MIME message to be encrypted:
    bool success = mime.AddHeaderField("Content-Type","text/plain");
    success = mime.AddHeaderField("abc","123");
    mime.SetBody("This is a test");

    // A digital certificate is required to create PKCS7 encrypted MIME.
    // It can come from a variety of sources: .cer file, .pfx file, PEM files,
    // an in-memory representation, or directly from a Windows
    // registry-based certificate store.

    // This example will load a certificate object from a .cer file.
    // Note: Only the public-key is required to encrypt.  (Decryption
    // requires a private key.)

    CkCert cert;
    success = cert.LoadFromFile("myCert.cer");
    if (success == false) {
        strOut.append(cert.lastErrorText());

        SetDlgItemText(IDC_EDIT1,strOut.getUnicode());

    // Encrypt the MIME:
    success = mime.Encrypt(cert);
    if (success == false) {
        strOut.append(mime.lastErrorText());

    strOut.append(mime.getMime());
    strOut.append("\r\n");

    // The resulting S/MIME looks something like this:
