What is CHH file?

The CHH file has been categorized as Developer Files. In addition to this file, the Developer Files category includes 1205 related files. C++ Header is supported by 1 operating systems. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Windows. It is recommended to use C++ Builder to handle this file. This is a program created by Embarcadero Technologies, Inc.. This file type can also be opened by 3 other programs. You can use Borland C++, Visual C++, Eclipse IDE for C/C++ Developers in case C++ Builder cannot be used.

How to open CHH file?

The main problem with C++ Header is that the CHH file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that CHH files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the CHH file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.

Step 1. Install C++ Builder

In this case, you should first verify that the C++ Builder application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name C++ Builder into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file CHH with C++ Builder. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open CHH files.

Step 2. Create association of C++ Builder with CHH files

If, despite the installed application, the CHH file does not start in the C++ Builder application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the C++ Builder application as the default for handling the CHH file.

Step 3. Update C++ Builder to the latest version

If, however, after binding C++ Builder with C++ Header there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Embarcadero Technologies, Inc. page and install.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the CHH file

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the CHH file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the CHH file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover CHH files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the CHH file. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular CHH file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use N/A help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file CHH except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the CHH file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the CHH file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file CHH to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the CHH file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
