Render XML to POWERPOINT within C++ Applications
Convert XML to POWERPOINT within your C++ Applications without using Microsoft® PowerPoint
Why to Convert XML to PowerPoint?
XML to PowerPoint conversion is a useful feature for C++ developers who want to add more functionality to their applications. By converting XML to PowerPoint, developers can create presentations with dynamic content, which can be easily shared and edited. This makes it easier for users to access and manipulate data, as well as create visually appealing presentations.
How Aspose.Total Helps for XML to PowerPoint Conversion
Aspose.Total for C++ is a comprehensive suite of APIs that enables developers to easily integrate XML to PowerPoint conversion into their C++ applications. The package includes two APIs: Aspose.PDF for C++ and Aspose.Slides for C++. With Aspose.PDF for C++, developers can export XML to PPTX, and with Aspose.Slides for C++, they can convert PPTX to PowerPoint. Both APIs are easy to use and provide developers with the tools they need to quickly and efficiently add XML to PowerPoint conversion to their applications.
C++ API to Export XML to POWERPOINT
- Open XML file using Document class reference
- Convert XML to PPTX by using Save method function
- Load PPTX document by using Presentation class reference
- Save the document to PPT format using
Save
member function and set
Pptas SaveFormat
Get Started with C++ File Automation 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 XML file with an instance of Document class
auto doc = MakeObject<Document>(u"template.xml");
// save XML as PPTX format
doc->Save(u"PptxOutput.pptx", SaveFormat::Pptx);
// instantiate a Presentation object that represents a PPTX file
SharedPtr<Presentation> prs = MakeObject<Presentation>(u"PptxOutput.pptx");
// save the presentation as Ppt format
prs->Save(u"output.ppt", Aspose::Slides::Export::SaveFormat::Ppt);
Change Password of XML Document via C++
In the process of rendering XML to POWERPOINT, you can open a password protected XML and also change its password. In order to change the password of a XML file, you must know the owner password of that document. You can load password protected PDF document with Aspose.PDF for C++ by specifying its owner password and use ChangePasswords method to change the password.
// load an existing XML Document
auto doc = MakeObject<Document>(L"input.xml", L"owner");
// change password of XML Document
doc->ChangePasswords(L"owner", L"newuser", L"newuser");
// save the document
doc->Save(L"output.Doc");
Add Images From Web in POWERPOINT File via C++
After converting XML to POWERPOINT, you can also add images from web to your output document. Aspose.Slides for C++ supports operations with images in these popular formats: JPEG, PNG, BMP, GIF, and others. You can add one or several images on your computer onto a slide in a presentation. This sample code in C++ shows you how to add an image to a POWERPOINT file
// instantiate a Presentation object that represents a POWERPOINT file
auto pres = System::MakeObject<Presentation>("output.powerpoint");
// get slide
auto slide = pres->get_Slides()->idx_get(0);
// initialize Web Client
auto webClient = System::MakeObject<WebClient>();
// get image data
auto imageData = webClient->DownloadData(System::MakeObject<Uri>(u"[REPLACE WITH URL]"));
// add image
auto image = pres->get_Images()->AddImage(imageData);
// add picture frame
slide->get_Shapes()->AddPictureFrame(ShapeType::Rectangle, 10.0f, 10.0f, 100.0f, 100.0f, image);
// save updated file
pres->Save(u"updated.powerpoint", SaveFormat::Ppt);
