Compress method

Applies to the ecCompress control only. The Compress method creates the cabinet file specified in the Filename property, adding all of the files in the Files collection.

Syntax

object.Compress

Part	Description
object	The object being manipulated.

Remarks

The progress of the Compress operation will be reported by Progress events.

In most cases, you will want to compress the files, but if the cabinet contains only files that are already compressed, such as ZIP, CAB, or JPEG files, you may specify UseCompression = False to have the files not be compressed. This will usually result in a larger cabinet size, but a much quicker operation.
