Aspose.Words for C++ is a powerful document processing API that enables you to create, edit, and convert documents in various formats. It supports a wide range of document formats, including DOC, DOCX, ODT, HTML, and BMP. With this API, you can easily export HTML to BMP.
By using Aspose.Total for C++, you can quickly and easily add email conversion features to your applications. It provides two powerful APIs that can be used to convert EMLX file format to HTML and then export HTML to BMP. This makes it easy to add email conversion features to your applications, allowing you to quickly and easily add email conversion features to your applications.
C++ API to Convert EMLX to BMP
- Open EMLX file using MailMessage class reference
- Convert EMLX to HTML by using Save member function
- Load HTML by using Document class
- Save the document to BMP format using Save method and set Bmp 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 EMLX file to be converted
System::SharedPtr<MailMessage> msg = MailMessage::Load(u"sourceFile.emlx");
// save EMLX 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 Bmp as save format
doc->Save(u"convertedFile.Bmp");
Parse EMLX File via C++
Not only you can convert your EMLX to BMP, but you can read, manipulate, and parse EMLX 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.emlx");
// 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 BMP File Format Editing
You can also add document protection features in your app while exporting the document from EMLX to BMP. 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.Bmp");

What is EMLX File Format?
The EMLX file format is a variant of the EML (Electronic Mail) format specifically used by Apple Mail, the default email client for macOS. While EML files are widely used by various email clients, EMLX files are specific to Apple Mail.
EMLX files store email messages individually, similar to EML files, but with slight differences in their file structure. Each EMLX file represents a single email message and contains the complete message data, including the sender and recipient details, subject, date, attachments, and the message body. These files are typically stored in a specific directory hierarchy within the user’s mailbox folder in Apple Mail.
The EMLX format is based on the MIME (Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions) standard, allowing for the inclusion of various types of content within email messages. This includes text, HTML formatting, attachments, and embedded images, ensuring that the entire email message is preserved within the EMLX file.
EMLX files are useful for email archiving, backup, and migration purposes within the Apple Mail ecosystem. They provide a convenient way to store and transfer individual email messages while maintaining their original formatting and structure. EMLX files can be easily shared or transferred between different instances of Apple Mail or imported into other email clients that support the EMLX format.
It’s important to note that EMLX files are specific to Apple Mail and may not be directly compatible with other email clients. However, conversion tools or email migration software can often convert EMLX files to other standard email formats for broader compatibility.
What is BMP File Format?
The BMP (Bitmap) image format is a widely used raster graphics file format that stores image data pixel by pixel. Developed by Microsoft, BMP is a straightforward and uncompressed format that provides a simple representation of graphical data. It is commonly used for storing images in various applications, including Windows operating systems.
One of the notable features of BMP is its ability to store images with different color depths, ranging from black and white (1-bit) to 24-bit true color. This flexibility allows BMP to accurately represent a wide range of image types and color schemes. Additionally, BMP supports both indexed color and direct color, providing efficient color representation options. As an uncompressed format, BMP retains all the original image data, ensuring high-quality reproduction without any loss of detail. This attribute makes BMP suitable for applications where image fidelity is critical, such as medical imaging, graphic design, and computer-aided design (CAD).
Furthermore, BMP files are widely supported by various image editing software, making them easily accessible for editing and manipulation. The format also supports transparency and alpha channel, enabling the inclusion of transparent regions within an image. However, due to its lack of compression, BMP files can be relatively large compared to other image formats that utilize compression algorithms. This can result in larger file sizes and increased storage requirements. Therefore, BMP is generally favored for its fidelity and compatibility rather than its efficiency in terms of file size.
