Starting with the v10.0.0 release (end of September 2024), Chilkat moves to standard semantic versioning. Prior to this release, for various technical reasons, Chilkat was stuck with versions 9.5.0.xx, where only xx changed. For this first leap to semantic versioning, where the major version changes to 10 (from 9), there are no backward incompatible changes. […]

Ideally the VB application would process the inbox, and perform actions based on the label. Answer: I investigated and it refreshed […]
The following problem is common.

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
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 […]

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 […]

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: […]
