Inserting OLE Objects into the Worksheet

Possible Usage Scenarios

Aspose.Cells allows you to insert an OLE object inside the worksheet. Please use Worksheet->GetOleObjects()->Add() method for this purpose. You will need an image byte array that will be used to insert the OLE object inside the worksheet and Ole object data bytes that will be your actual object.to insert the Ole object inside the worksheet. 

Inserting OLE Objects into the Worksheet

The following sample code creates the workbook object and inserts the Ole object inside the first worksheet and saves it as output Excel file. Please see the Aspose Logo used as image bytes and input Excel file used as Ole object data inside the code for reference.

Sample Code

// For complete examples and data files, please go to https://github.com/aspose-cells/Aspose.Cells-for-C
Vector<uint8_t> GetDataFromFile(const char* file)
{
// open a file
std::ifstream fileStream(file, std::ios::binary);
if (!fileStream.is_open()) {
std::cerr << "Failed to open the file: " << file << std::endl;
return Vector<uint8_t>(0);
}
// Get file size
fileStream.seekg(0, std::ios::end);
std::streampos fileSize = fileStream.tellg();
fileStream.seekg(0, std::ios::beg);
// Read file contents into uint8_t array
uint8_t* buffer = new uint8_t[fileSize];
fileStream.read(reinterpret_cast<char*>(buffer), fileSize);
fileStream.close();
Vector<uint8_t>data(buffer, fileSize);
delete[] buffer;
return data;
}

// Source directory path.
U16String srcDir(u"..\\Data\\01_SourceDirectory\\");
// Output directory path.
U16String outDir(u"..\\Data\\02_OutputDirectory\\");
// Path of output Excel file.
U16String outputInsertingOLEObjectsIntoWorksheet = outDir + u"outputInsertingOLEObjectsIntoWorksheet.xlsx";

Workbook workbook;
// Get the first worksheet.
Worksheet worksheet = workbook.GetWorksheets().Get(0);
// Read Image for Ole Object into array of bytes.
U16String imagePath = srcDir + u"AsposeLogo.png";
Vector<uint8_t>imageData = GetDataFromFile(imagePath.ToUtf8().c_str());
// Read Ole Object into array of bytes.
U16String oleObjectPath = srcDir + u"inputInsertOleObject.xlsx";
Vector<uint8_t> oleObjectData = GetDataFromFile(oleObjectPath.ToUtf8().c_str());
// Add an Ole object into the worksheet with the image.
int idx = worksheet.GetOleObjects().Add(2, 2, 200, 220, imageData);
// Set the Ole object data.
OleObject oleObj = worksheet.GetOleObjects().Get(idx);
oleObj.SetObjectData(oleObjectData);
// Save the workbook.
workbook.Save(outputInsertingOLEObjectsIntoWorksheet);
