See more Zip Examples

Demonstrates how to verify the password for an encrypted or password-protected zip archive. C++

#include <CkZip.h>

void ChilkatSample(void)
    {
    bool success = false;

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

    CkZip zip;

    // To verify a password for a Zip, the Zip must be opened:
    success = zip.OpenZip("myProtected.zip");
    if (success != true) {
        std::cout << zip.lastErrorText() << "\r\n";
        return;
    }

    // Set the password to be verified:
    zip.put_DecryptPassword("secret");

    bool passwordOk;
    passwordOk = zip.VerifyPassword();
    if (passwordOk == true) {
        std::cout << "Password is correct." << "\r\n";
    }
    else {
        std::cout << "Password is incorrect." << "\r\n";
    }

    zip.CloseZip();
    }
