I have made a class of the AddZip.DLL to inculde zipping in my application. I wanted to let the user know the status of the files as they were being zipped. The program has two functions: 1) Set a callback function with a pointer (which I don't think Foxpro can do. 2) Set a WindowHandle to display the information to. The Function is this :
***************************************************************************
Syntax
INT16 addZIP_SetWindowHandle(HWND hwnd)

The handle passed via this function must be the window handle (hwnd) of an edit/text box.

Parameters

hwnd the handle of the edit/text box used for passing messages

Returns
These functions return a non-zero value on success. A return value of zero indicates that the edit/text box does not exist.
