: i tried using : but i am not able to specify the folder that i wish to zip! ------ The command format for winzip32 is: winzip32 [-min] Action [options] Filename[.zip] Files Action: Options: Filename or Filename.zip is the name of the zipfile that you create. If you don't specify an extension, it will become .zip Files is a list of one or more files, or the @ character followed by the filename containing a list of files to add, one filename per line. Wildcards (such as *.*) are allowed.
Examples of commands: Zip the file data.dat to a file data.zip, with data.dat in c:\source and data.zip in c:\dest c:\program files\winzip\winzip32 -a c:\dest\data c:\source\data.dat Zip all the files of folder c:\source into a zipfile called all.zip and don't show the Winzip window: c:\program files\winzip\winzip32 -min -a c:\dest\all c:\source\*.* With ShellExecute this becomes (I tested it and it works fine): ShellExecute(Handle, 'Open', 'c:\program files\winzip\winzip32.exe', '-min -a c:\dest\all c:\source\*.*', nil, SW_NORMAL); Or, if you want to make a procedure that you call like this: then the procedure would be:
procedure TForm1.ZipIt(Source, Destination: string); const Zipper = 'c:\program files\winzip\winzip32.exe'; var Params: string; begin Params := '-min -a ' + Destination + ' ' + Source; ShellExecute(Handle, 'Open', PChar(Zipper), PChar(Params), nil, SW_NORMAL); end;
