C++ API to Export EML to GIF
Transform EML to GIF within C++ application without requiring Microsoft Word or Outlook
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 emails from one format to another. For example, you may need to convert an EML file format to HTML.
How Aspose.Total helps for eml to gif conversion
Aspose.Total for C++ is a comprehensive suite of APIs that can help you to easily and quickly add email conversion features to your applications. It includes two APIs, Aspose.Email for C++ and Aspose.Words for C++. Aspose.Email for C++ API can be used to convert EML file format to HTML. After that, Aspose.Words for C++ API can be used to export HTML to GIF. Both APIs come under Aspose.Total for C++ package. This package provides a wide range of features that can help you to easily and quickly add email conversion features to your applications.
C++ API to Convert EML to GIF
- Open EML file using MailMessage class reference
- Convert EML to HTML by using Save member function
- Load HTML by using Document class
- Save the document to GIF format using Save method and set Gif 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 EML file to be converted
System::SharedPtr<MailMessage> msg = MailMessage::Load(u"sourceFile.eml");
// save EML 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 Gif as save format
doc->Save(u"convertedFile.Gif");
Parse EML File via C++
Not only you can convert your EML to GIF, but you can read, manipulate, and parse EML 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.eml");
// 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 GIF File Format Editing
You can also add document protection features in your app while exporting the document from EML to GIF. 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.Gif");
