Aspose::Words::Drawing::OleFormat::get_SuggestedExtension method

OleFormat::get_SuggestedExtension method

Gets the file extension suggested for the current embedded object if you want to save it into a file.

System::String Aspose::Words::Drawing::OleFormat::get_SuggestedExtension()

Examples

Shows how to extract embedded OLE objects into files.

auto doc = MakeObject<Document>(MyDir + u"OLE spreadsheet.docm");
auto shape = System::ExplicitCast<Shape>(doc->GetChild(NodeType::Shape, 0, true));

// The OLE object in the first shape is a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet.
SharedPtr<OleFormat> oleFormat = shape->get_OleFormat();

ASSERT_EQ(u"Excel.Sheet.12", oleFormat->get_ProgId());

// Our object is neither auto updating nor locked from updates.
ASSERT_FALSE(oleFormat->get_AutoUpdate());
ASPOSE_ASSERT_EQ(false, oleFormat->get_IsLocked());

// If we plan on saving the OLE object to a file in the local file system,
// we can use the "SuggestedExtension" property to determine which file extension to apply to the file.
ASSERT_EQ(u".xlsx", oleFormat->get_SuggestedExtension());

// Below are two ways of saving an OLE object to a file in the local file system.
// 1 -  Save it via a stream:
{
    auto fs = MakeObject<System::IO::FileStream>(ArtifactsDir + u"OLE spreadsheet extracted via stream" + oleFormat->get_SuggestedExtension(),
                                                 System::IO::FileMode::Create);
    oleFormat->Save(fs);
}

// 2 -  Save it directly to a filename:
oleFormat->Save(ArtifactsDir + u"OLE spreadsheet saved directly" + oleFormat->get_SuggestedExtension());
