C++ API to Export MSG to WORD
Transform MSG to WORD 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 easier to read and share.
How Aspose.Total Helps for MSG to Word Conversion
Aspose.Total for C++ is a suite of APIs that provides developers with the tools they need to create powerful applications. It includes two APIs that can be used to convert MSG files to HTML and then export HTML to WORD. The first API is Aspose.Email for C++, which can be used to convert MSG files to HTML. The second API is Aspose.Words for C++, which can be used to export HTML to WORD. Both APIs are included in the Aspose.Total for C++ package, making it easy to use both APIs together. With Aspose.Total for C++, developers can quickly and easily add email conversion features to their applications.
C++ API to Convert MSG to WORD
- 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 DOCX format using Save method and set Docx 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 Docx as save format
doc->Save(u"convertedFile.Docx");
Parse MSG File via C++
Not only you can convert your MSG to WORD, 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 WORD File Format Editing
You can also add document protection features in your app while exporting the document from MSG to WORD. 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.Docx");
