Encodes to file.

Syntax

• C

ANSI (Cross Platform)
int EncodeToFile();

Unicode (Windows)
INT EncodeToFile();

- (void)encodeToFile;

#define MID_MIME_ENCODETOFILE 6

IPWORKS_EXTERNAL int IPWORKS_CALL IPWorks_MIME_Do(void *lpObj, int methid, int cparam, void *param[], int cbparam[], int64 *lpllVal);

Remarks

This method encodes the data given in Parts properties (either decoded file or decoded string) into a MIME message at Message and MessageHeaders using the values optionally given in Parts properties. To encode several objects into a MIME envelope, the user should first clear any old values left in the Parts properties.

The class will check for each item in Parts properties (first decoded file and then the decoded string) for the data to encode.

The encoded message will be saved in the file pointed to by Message; the message headers will be held by MessageHeaders.

Example (Encoding Data)

MIMEControl.ResetData()
MIMEControl.PartCount = 2
MIMEControl.PartDecodedString(0) = "This is plain text data"
MIMEControl.PartEncoding(0) = peQuotedPrintable
MIMEControl.PartContentType(0) = "text/plain"
MIMEControl.PartDecodedFile(1) = "C:\filename.txt"
MIMEControl.Message = "temp.tmp"
MIMEControl.EncodeToFile()

Error Handling (C++)

This method returns a result code; 0 indicates success, while a non-zero error code indicates that this method encountered an error during its execution. If an error occurs, the GetLastError() method can be called to retrieve the associated error message. (Note: This method's result code can also be obtained by calling the GetLastErrorCode() method after it returns.)
