C++ API to Export MSG to EMF
Transform MSG to EMF within C++ application without requiring Microsoft Word or Outlook
Why to Convert
C++ developers often need to add email conversion features to their applications. This can be done by converting MSG file format to HTML, and then exporting HTML to EMF. This allows developers to create applications that can read and write emails in a variety of formats.
How Aspose.Total Helps for MSG to EMF Conversion
Aspose.Total for C++ is a comprehensive suite of APIs that provides developers with the tools they need to create powerful applications. It includes two APIs that are specifically designed for email conversion: Aspose.Email for C++ and Aspose.Words for C++.
Aspose.Email for C++ is an API that enables developers to convert MSG file format to HTML. It provides a wide range of features, including the ability to read and write emails in a variety of formats, as well as the ability to convert emails to HTML.
Aspose.Words for C++ is an API that enables developers to export HTML to EMF. It provides a wide range of features, including the ability to read and write documents in a variety of formats, as well as the ability to convert documents to EMF.
By using Aspose.Total for C++, developers can easily add email conversion features to their applications. It provides the tools they need to quickly and easily convert MSG file format to HTML, and then export HTML to EMF. This allows developers to create powerful applications that can read and write emails in a variety of formats.
C++ API to Convert MSG to EMF
- 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 EMF format using Save method and set Emf 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 Emf as save format
doc->Save(u"convertedFile.Emf");
Parse MSG File via C++
Not only you can convert your MSG to EMF, 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 EMF File Format Editing
You can also add document protection features in your app while exporting the document from MSG to EMF. 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.Emf");
