Find Query Tables and List Objects related to External Data Connections with C++

The following sample codes with sample excel file explain how to find Query Tables and List Objects related to External Data Connection.

#include <iostream>
#include "Aspose.Cells.h"

using namespace Aspose::Cells;
using namespace Aspose::Cells::ExternalConnections;

void PrintTables(Workbook& workbook, ExternalConnection& externalConnection)
{
    // Implementation of PrintTables function
    // This function should print tables related to the external connection
    // Placeholder for actual implementation
}

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

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

    // Load workbook object
    Workbook workbook(srcDir + u"sample.xlsm");

    // Check all the connections inside the workbook
    ExternalConnectionCollection dataConnections = workbook.GetDataConnections();
    for (int i = 0; i < dataConnections.GetCount(); i++)
    {
        ExternalConnection externalConnection = dataConnections.Get(i);
        std::cout << "connection: " << externalConnection.GetName().ToUtf8() << std::endl;
        PrintTables(workbook, externalConnection);
        std::cout << std::endl;
    }

    std::cout << "Press any key to continue..." << std::endl;
    std::cin.get();

    Aspose::Cells::Cleanup();
    return 0;
}
