Bricolsoft Zip ActiveX Component

Bricolsoft Zip is an easy-to-use, high performance, PKZIP-compatible ActiveX control that allows applications to manipulate zip files. It features strong AES encryption, large file support, multipart archive support and self-extract functionality.

Features: The Bricolsoft Zip 2009 R2 ActiveX is a data compression component. It will allow developers to add zip and unzip features to applications. The functionality that you can create include, beside the straight zip and unzip, multipart archive creation, ZIP64 large file support, WinZip AES encryption, self extracting archive creation and memory file compression / decompression. The integration with your application takes only a few lines of code. For effective control from inside your application the component returns a set of events. These let you know file and operation complete events. It`ll enable prompting for and taking corrective actions. If the operation needs to be aborted that can be done easily.

This component has C and C++ optimized code and is a ATL library. Optimization is done with respect to its speed performance so that large files also can be compressed or decompressed quickly. The integration interface is quite intuitive and has built in constants, enumerations and types that would work without a problem with programming environments such as C#, VB.NET, VB6, VC++, Delphi, C++ Builder etc. The components provides complete compatibility with PKZIP 2.40g and PKZIP 4,5 formats and thus with Zip and PKZIP programs. The reusability of the component should save you a lot of programming work should you need the data compression/decompression functionality in your applications.

Overall: A handy component that can save you a lot of work.

The Bricolsoft Zip ActiveX Compression Library is a data compression component that allows developers to quickly add advanced zip and unzip features to their applications. The component offers lots of features, control, ease-of-use, high performance and compatibility. It is available for 32-bit and 64-bit processors.
1. FEATURES
With just a few lines of codes Bricolsoft Zip lets you include complex data compression functionality into your programs. Some examples include efficient BZip2/LZMA/PPMd compression, multipart archive creation, ZIP64 large file support, WinZip AES encryption, self extracting archive creation and memory file compression / decompression.
2. CONTROL
With our ActiveX component your application is always in command. Progress events report file and operation completion while a multitude of other events prompt for and allow your program to select appropriate corrective actions. You can abort an operation at any time.
3. EASE-OF-USE
Bricolsoft Zip's interface is intuitive in design and has built-in constants, enumerations and types that work with your programming environment's auto complete features to simplify code writing. It seamlessly integrates with a variety of programming platforms such as C#, VB.NET, VB6, VC++, Delphi, C++ Builder and more.
4. HIGH PERFORMANCE
Bricolsoft Zip is a lightweight ATL library that consists of highly optimized C and C++ code designed for performance. That makes it perfect for lengthy compression and decompression tasks that demand speed and efficiency.
