Why to Convert
As a C++ developer, you may need to add email conversion features inside your applications. Email conversion is a process of transforming an email file format into another format. For example, you may need to convert an EMAIL file format to HTML.
How Aspose.Total helps for email to image conversion
Aspose.Total for C++ is a comprehensive suite of APIs that helps developers to work with various file formats. It includes Aspose.Email for C++ and Aspose.Words for C++ APIs. Aspose.Email for C++ API helps to convert EMAIL file format to HTML. After that, Aspose.Words for C++ API helps to export HTML to IMAGE. Both APIs come under Aspose.Total for C++ package.
Using Aspose.Total for C++, you can easily convert an EMAIL file format to HTML and then export HTML to IMAGE. It is a simple and efficient way to add email conversion features inside your applications. Aspose.Total for C++ is a reliable and cost-effective solution for developers to work with various file formats. It helps to save time and effort while working with different file formats.
C++ API to Convert EMAIL to IMAGE
- Open EMAIL file using MailMessage class reference
- Convert EMAIL to HTML by using Save member function
- Load HTML by using Document class
- Save the document to PNG format using Save method and set Png as SaveFormat
Get Started with C++ File Format APIs
Install from command line as nuget install Aspose.Total.Cpp
or via Package Manager Console of Visual Studio with Install-Package Aspose.Total.Cpp
.
Alternatively, get the offline MSI installer or DLLs in a ZIP file from downloads .
// load the EMAIL file to be converted
System::SharedPtr<MailMessage> msg = MailMessage::Load(u"sourceFile.msg");
// save EMAIL as a HTML
msg->Save(u"HtmlOutput.html", SaveOptions::get_DefaultHtml());
// load HTML with an instance of Document
System::SharedPtr<Document> doc = System::MakeObject<Document>(u"HtmlOutput.html");
// call save method while passing Png as save format
doc->Save(u"convertedFile.Png");
Parse EMAIL File via C++
Not only you can convert your EMAIL to IMAGE, but you can read, manipulate, and parse EMAIL document. You can get subject, address, body, recipients information of the email by using MapiMessage class of Aspose.Email for C++ API. For example, you can check for a specific sender email for the conversion by using get_SenderEmailAddress() property.
// create an instance of MapiMessage from file
System::SharedPtr<MapiMessage> msg = MapiMessage::FromFile(dataDir + L"message.msg");
// get subject
System::Console::WriteLine(System::String(L"Subject:") + msg->get_Subject());
// get from address
System::Console::WriteLine(System::String(L"From:") + msg->get_SenderEmailAddress());
// get body
System::Console::WriteLine(System::String(L"Body") + msg->get_Body());
// get recipients information
System::Console::WriteLine(System::String(L"Recipient: ") + msg->get_Recipients());
C++ API to Restrict IMAGE File Format Editing
You can also add document protection features in your app while exporting the document from EMAIL to IMAGE. Adding protection to your document is a simple process, as all you need to do is apply the protection method to your document. You can set protection type to ReadOnly to restrict the user to edit the document.
// create a new document and protect it with a password.
auto doc = System::MakeObject<Document>();
// apply Document Protection.
doc->Protect(ProtectionType::ReadOnly, u"password");
// save the document.
doc->Save(u"DocumentProtection.PasswordProtection.Png");
