Remarks

This advanced class gives you detailed access to Windows Crypto API routines. You can use it to encrypt information in your applications, including text, files, and data fields. Routines exist for stream, block, symmetrical, private and public key encryption, as well as file signing.

To use, drop the class on a project or form or, from the Component Gallery Item Shortcut Menu, select Add to Project or Add to Form. When you add the class to a form, Visual FoxPro places the class icon on the form. You can specify the appropriate property values and provide any necessary input and output objects. When you drop the class on a project, you can choose between adding the class or creating a subclass.
