C++ API to Export MSG to IMAGE
Transform MSG to IMAGE 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 the process of changing the format of an email message from one type to another. For example, you may need to convert an email message from MSG to HTML format.
How Aspose.Total Helps for MSG to Image Conversion
Aspose.Total for C++ is a suite of APIs that provides a comprehensive set of features for working with documents, emails, and images. It includes the Aspose.Email for C++ API, which can be used to convert MSG file format to HTML. After that, you can use the Aspose.Words for C++ API to export HTML to IMAGE. Both APIs are included in the Aspose.Total for C++ package. With Aspose.Total for C++, you can easily add email conversion features to your applications.
C++ API to Convert MSG to IMAGE
- 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 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 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 Png as save format
doc->Save(u"convertedFile.Png");
Parse MSG File via C++
Not only you can convert your MSG to IMAGE, 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 IMAGE File Format Editing
You can also add document protection features in your app while exporting the document from MSG 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");
