Extracts a specified key from the keyrings

x = object.PGPExtractKeys

The syntax of the PGPExtractKeys method has these parts:

 

Part	Description
object	A Cryptocx v7 control.
x	A string that becomes the keys after the method has run. If the specified key(s) are not in the keyrings then the method will return an empty string.

You have to specify what key to extract from a public key ring, this is done by specifying the KeyId property of the Cryptocx control. As all keys in a public keyring are identified by their id.

You need to specify the KeyFolder where the public keyring is located. Cryptocx will automatically search through the specified folder to find any valid keyrings.

String

Where Cryptocx1 is an instance of a Cryptocx Control.

Dim x As String

Cryptocx1.KeyFolder = "C:\mykeys\"
Cryptocx1.KeyID = "mykey"

'' Do the key extraction.
''
x = Cryptocx1.PGPExtractKeys
