...save many streams in a (compressed, encrypted) file?
Author: Thomas Stutz
{
This example shows you how to save many streams into a single file and load it again.
You need to install the HKStream component from the Demo-Download.
The HKStreams component enables you to store streams with LHA compression if wanted,
and can also be encrypted with blowfish.
THKStreams is also smart, if you load afterwards an encrypted or compressed (or both) file,
it will now how to read it, and can also call your event that asks the user
for a password if needed.
In the following example we will store several components
(TMemo, TListbox, some other controls)
and a Version-Information in a single file and then read it back.
THKStreams enables you to write your own file format and easily access streams
in a file, as they are stored in different sections.

Dieses Beispiel zeigt, wie man mehrere Stream in eine Datei speichern kann.
Dafür wird die THKStreams Komponente verwendet, welche es unter anderem erlaubt,
eine Datei mit LHA zu komprimieren und mit Blowfish zu verschlüssseln.
Auch kann einer Datei ein Passwort hinzugefügt werden, welches dann beim Öffnen
der Datei vom Benutzer eingegeben werden muss.
Im Beispiel werden einige Komponenten wie TMemo, TListbox und diverse Controls einer
Groupbox und Versions-Informationen in einer einzigen Datei gespeichert.
Mit der THKStreams Komponente kann man leicht sein eigenes Dateiformat schreiben und
sehr einfach auf Streams zugreifen, da diese in einzelne Sektionen unterteilt sind.
