Adding Custom Properties visible inside Document Information Panel with C++

Adding Custom Properties visible inside Document Information Panel

Aspose.Cells can be used to add custom properties inside the workbook object which are visible inside the Document Information Panel. You can open the Document Information Panel in Microsoft Excel using File > Info > Properties > Show Document Panel menu commands.

Please use Workbook.ContentTypeProperties.Add() method to add a custom property which will be visible in the Document Information Panel.

The following sample code adds two custom properties. The first property is without any type and the second property has a type as DateTime. Once you open the output Excel file generated by this code, you will see these two properties inside the Document Information Panel.

#include <iostream>
#include "Aspose.Cells.h"
using namespace Aspose::Cells;

int main()
{
    Aspose::Cells::Startup();

    // For complete examples and data files, please go to https://github.com/aspose-cells/Aspose.Cells-for-C

    // Source directory path
    U16String srcDir(u"..\\Data\\01_SourceDirectory\\");

    // Create workbook object with specified format
    Workbook workbook(FileFormatType::Xlsx);

    // Add simple property without any type
    workbook.GetContentTypeProperties().Add(u"MK31", u"Simple Data");

    // Add date time property with type
    workbook.GetContentTypeProperties().Add(u"MK32", u"04-Mar-2015", u"DateTime");

    // Save the workbook
    workbook.Save(srcDir + u"AddingCustomPropertiesVisible_out.xlsx");

    std::cout << "Custom properties added successfully!" << std::endl;

    Aspose::Cells::Cleanup();
}
