C++ API to Export MSG to ODT
Transform MSG to ODT 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 transforming emails from one format to another. This is useful for archiving emails, or for making them compatible with different email clients.
How Aspose.Total Helps for MSG to ODT Conversion
Aspose.Total for C++ is a suite of APIs that provides a comprehensive set of features for developing applications in C++. It includes two APIs that are useful for email conversion: Aspose.Email for C++ and Aspose.Words for C++.
Using Aspose.Email for C++, you can convert MSG file format to HTML. After that, by using Aspose.Words for C++ API, you can export HTML to ODT. Both APIs come under Aspose.Total for C++ package.
Aspose.Email for C++ is a powerful email processing API that enables you to read, write, and convert emails in various formats. It supports a wide range of email formats, including MSG, EML, MHTML, and HTML. It also provides features for creating, modifying, and converting emails.
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 ODT, DOC, DOCX, and HTML. It also provides features for creating, modifying, and converting documents.
By using Aspose.Total for C++, you can easily convert MSG files to ODT format. This makes it easy to archive emails, or to make them compatible with different email clients. Aspose.Total for C++ is a comprehensive suite of APIs that provides a wide range of features for developing applications in C++.
C++ API to Convert MSG to ODT
- 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 ODT format using Save method and set Odt 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 Odt as save format
doc->Save(u"convertedFile.Odt");
Parse MSG File via C++
Not only you can convert your MSG to ODT, 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 ODT File Format Editing
You can also add document protection features in your app while exporting the document from MSG to ODT. 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.Odt");
