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. This is useful when you need to view emails in different formats or when you need to store emails in a different format.
How Aspose.Total helps for MSG to BMP Conversion
Aspose.Total for C++ is a suite of APIs that provides a comprehensive set of features for manipulating and converting emails, documents, and images. It includes two APIs, Aspose.Email for C++ and Aspose.Words for C++, which can be used to convert MSG file format to HTML and export HTML to BMP respectively.
Using Aspose.Email for C++, you can easily convert MSG file format to HTML. It supports a wide range of email file formats, including MSG, EML, EMLX, MHT, and MBOX. It also provides features to manipulate emails, such as adding or removing attachments, adding or removing headers, and adding or removing recipients.
Aspose.Words for C++ is a powerful API for creating, editing, and converting documents. It supports a wide range of document formats, including DOC, DOCX, ODT, RTF, HTML, and PDF. It also provides features to manipulate documents, such as adding or removing text, images, and tables. With Aspose.Words for C++, you can export HTML to BMP.
Aspose.Total for C++ is a comprehensive package that provides all the features you need to manipulate and convert emails, documents, and images. It includes both Aspose.Email for C++ and Aspose.Words for C++, which can be used to convert MSG file format to HTML and export HTML to BMP respectively. With Aspose.Total for C++, you can easily add email conversion features to your applications.
C++ API to Convert MSG to BMP
- Open MSG file using MailMessage class reference
- Convert MSG 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 MSG file to be converted
System::SharedPtr<MailMessage> msg = MailMessage::Load(u"sourceFile.msg");
// save MSG 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 MSG File via C++
Not only you can convert your MSG to BMP, but you can read, manipulate, and parse MSG 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 BMP File Format Editing
You can also add document protection features in your app while exporting the document from MSG 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");
