success = 0

Dim cert As New ChilkatCert

' The thumbprint can be passed in any encoding, such as hex, base64, etc.
' The 2nd argument indicates the encoding of the 1st argument.
success = cert.LoadByThumbprint("ea5a129c1919a52d238ee28d9f3a8f345b768388","hex")
If (success = 0) Then
    Debug.Print cert.LastErrorText
