Url Delphi DLL Reference Documentation

Url

Current Version: 11.0.0

Provides an object representation of a URL and easy access to the parts of the URL.

Create/Dispose

var
myObject: HCkUrl;

begin
myObject := CkUrl_Create();

// ...

CkUrl_Dispose(myObject);
end;
function CkUrl_Create: HCkUrl; stdcall;

Creates an instance of the HCkUrl object and returns a handle (i.e. a Pointer). The handle is passed in the 1st argument for the functions listed on this page.

procedure CkUrl_Dispose(handle: HCkUrl); stdcall;

Objects created by calling CkUrl_Create must be freed by calling this method. A memory leak occurs if a handle is not disposed by calling this function.

Properties

DebugLogFilePath
procedure CkUrl_getDebugLogFilePath(objHandle: HCkUrl; outPropVal: HCkString); stdcall;
procedure CkUrl_putDebugLogFilePath(objHandle: HCkUrl; newPropVal: PWideChar); stdcall;
function CkUrl__debugLogFilePath(objHandle: HCkUrl): PWideChar; stdcall;

If set to a file path, this property logs the LastErrorText of each Chilkat method or property call to the specified file. This logging helps identify the context and history of Chilkat calls leading up to any crash or hang, aiding in debugging.

Enabling the VerboseLogging property provides more detailed information. This property is mainly used for debugging rare instances where a Chilkat method call causes a hang or crash, which should generally not happen.

Possible causes of hangs include:

  • A timeout property set to 0, indicating an infinite timeout.
  • A hang occurring within an event callback in the application code.
  • An internal bug in the Chilkat code causing the hang.
