The main features of this release focus on Chilkat’s Ai class, enabling interactive AI response streaming directly into embedded desktop application browsers. It supports Azure, custom base URLs for OpenAI-compatible providers, and local providers like Ollama. ✨ New Features Ai Real-Time Streaming AI Responses to Embedded Browsers in Desktop Apps — Stream AI responses […]
Previous Version: Chilkat v11.1.0 Release Notes The main addition in v11.2.0 is the Chilkat.Ai class, and the Chilkat.StringBuilder.MarkdownToHtml method. Ai: The Chilkat AI class provides a unified API for interacting with different AI providers: OpenAI, Google, Claude, xAI, Perplexity, and DeepSeek. It provides functionality for conversation management, multimodal inputs, and streaming mode. Markdown to HTML […]
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. […]
Chilkat classes that involve network communications can use callbacks. This blog post describes the CkHttp AbortCheck callback. An application can request periodic AbortCheck callbacks according to the HeartbeatMs property setting. (If HeartbeatMs = 0, then no AbortCheck callbacks will occur.) For example:
Here is a complete example showing how to write a call to an asynchronous Chilkat method in .NET Core. (Note: This is .NET Core, not .NET Framework.) This example uses the TaskCompleted callback to get notified when the task completes.

Make sure to use the “cdecl” calling convention. 2) Set the task completed callback by calling the appropriate SetTaskCompleted function. For the CkRest object it is CkZip_SetTaskCompleted(rest,MyTaskCompleted); Note: This example shows TaskCompleted […]

This example demonstrates the general pattern for implementing some standard event callbacks functions for the Chilkat “C” API. All Chilkat “classes” what have events will use the standard Chilkat events shown in the example below (AbortCheck, PercentDone, and ProgressInfo). This example demonstrates callbacks for an SFTP download, but the same technique applies to any other […]
Event callbacks in Java (including Android) are supported starting in v9.5.0.52. To receive event callbacks, first create a Java class derived from one of the Chilkat event callback classes. The event callback classes are: CkBaseProgress, CkHttpProgress, CkZipProgress, CkFtp2Progress, CkMailManProgress, CkTarProgress, and CkSFtpProgress. All future Chilkat classes will only use CkBaseProgress. Theses event callback classes will […]
This blog post shows how to monitor the progress of HTTP uploads and downloads in C++. The first step is to create a C++ callback class that derives from the CkHttpProgress base class. You’ll be overriding one or more of the callback methods. For example: class MyHttpProgress : public CkHttpProgress { public: MyHttpProgress(void) { } […]
