(MFC) Zip Append Files Verbose Logging

An application can check verbose LastErrorText if the zip.AppendFiles method does not append the expected files, or if it appends nothing.

void ChilkatSample(void)

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

    bool success;

    // Turn on verbose logging to get more informaiton in the LastErrorText property.
    zip.put_VerboseLogging(true);

    bool recurse = true;
    zip.put_AppendFromDir("qa_data/syncTree");
    success = zip.AppendFiles("*",recurse);

    // Even if AppendFiles is successful, we can examine the LastErrorText property
    // to see what happend.  (This is true for all Chilkat methods.  The LastErrorText always
    // contains information even when the method call is successful.  If you have a difficult
    // time understanding what happened, then turn on VerboseLogging and have a look at it.
    // Make sure to turn off VerboseLogging for production because it could slow down your application.)
    strOut.append(zip.lastErrorText());
    strOut.append("\r\n");
