VB6 Error — “TYPE MISMATCH (ERROR CODE 13)” w/ IMAP Search method
This happens if the Chilkat ActiveX objects are dragged and dropped onto your formvia the “Project–>Components” menu. Instead, add a reference to the objects via the “Project–>References” menu. Instances of the object should be created dynamically. For example: Dim imap as ChilkatImap Set imap = New ChilkatImap
WSAECONNREFUSED No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it.
One possible cause of this socket connect error is when an Anti-Virus program blocks the connection. This can happen if the AV program is blocking the outbound port. If some programs can connect to a given remote host:port, but your application cannot, then check your Anti-Virus program to see if exceptions were made for specific […]

SFTP OpenFile Succeeds, but ReadFileBytes Fails
SSH/SFTP servers are notoriously bad at providing any sort of useful information about the cause of a problem. This is one of those cases. It was discovered that for one particular server, if a remote file is opened (via the OpenFile method) using “readWrite” access, then the OpenFile succeeds, but a subsequent call to a […]

Passing Strings to COM/ActiveX in C++ Builder
In C++ Builder, when passing a string to an ActiveX (COM) function, a BSTR is required. This is different than a NULL-terminated WideString. The correct syntax looks like this: long lSuccess; BSTR bstr = SysAllocString(L”UnlockCode”); spChilkatMHT->UnlockComponent (bstr, &lSuccess); SysFreeString( bstr ); The following is incorrect because a NULL-terminated WideString is passed, and not a BSTR: […]
IMAP Authentication using OAUTH
Using the Chilkat IMAP component/library, it is possible to authenticate using OAUTH via the SendRawCommand method. Instead of calling the imap.Login method, you would instead call imap.SendRawCommand as shown here: string response = imap.SendRawCommand(“AUTHENTICATE XOAUTH <base64_data>”); Your application will need to compute the OAUTH base64 string. Chilkat does not implement that computations required for generating […]
Using regsvr32 to Register a 32-bit ActiveX or 64-bit ActiveX on Windows 64-bit System
A 64-bit Windows system has two separate registries — one for 32-bit processes, and one for 64-bit processes. The reason for this is simple: Let’s say your application instantiates an instance of an ActiveX component by calling CreateObject(“Chilkat.Ssh”). If your application is running in a 32-bit address space, the registry entries for “Chilkat.Ssh” should point […]
