Why to Convert
As a C++ developer, you may need to add email conversion features inside your applications. One of the most common conversions is from OFT file format to HTML. This conversion is necessary to ensure that the emails are compatible with the application and can be used in the desired manner.
How Aspose.Total helps for oft to dotm conversion
Aspose.Total for C++ is a comprehensive package that includes two APIs, Aspose.Email for C++ and Aspose.Words for C++. Aspose.Email for C++ can be used to convert OFT file format to HTML. After that, Aspose.Words for C++ API can be used to export HTML to DOTM. This package provides an easy and efficient way to perform the oft to dotm conversion. It is a cost-effective solution that can be used to quickly add email conversion features to your applications.
C++ API to Convert OFT to DOTM
- Open OFT file using MailMessage class reference
- Convert OFT to HTML by using Save member function
- Load HTML by using Document class
- Save the document to DOTM format using Save method and set Dotm 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 OFT file to be converted
System::SharedPtr<MailMessage> msg = MailMessage::Load(u"sourceFile.oft");
// save OFT 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 Dotm as save format
doc->Save(u"convertedFile.Dotm");
Parse OFT File via C++
Not only you can convert your OFT to DOTM, but you can read, manipulate, and parse OFT 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.oft");
// 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 DOTM File Format Editing
You can also add document protection features in your app while exporting the document from OFT to DOTM. 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.Dotm");
