How to Create DOCX in C++

In this topic, we will learn how to create DOCX in C++. Word documents are created programmatically especially in C++ and used many applications to achieve automation like utility bill generation. You can create DOCX on the fly in C++ using simple API interface.

Steps to Create DOCX in C++

Include Aspose.Words.Cpp using NuGet package Manager
Add reference to Aspose::Words and Aspose::Words::Saving and System::Drawing namespaces
Create instance of Document Class to add a blank Word document
Create DocumentBuilder Class instance to process the Word Document
Add text in document along with formatting
Save the Word document with custom formatting in DOCX format using Save method

In the following example we have shown, how you can create word document in C++ by adding text and setting its formatting. You will also see, how you can hyperlink the text in your document as well.

Code to Create DOCX in C++

	#include <Aspose.Words.Cpp/Document.h>
	#include <Aspose.Words.Cpp/DocumentBuilder.h>
	#include <Aspose.Words.Cpp/Saving/DocSaveOptions.h>
	#include <Aspose.Words.Cpp/Saving/SaveOutputParameters.h>
	#include <Aspose.Words.Cpp/Font.h>
	#include <Aspose.Words.Cpp/Border.h>
	#include <Aspose.Words.Cpp/License.h>
	#include <Aspose.Words.Cpp/Saving/CompressionLevel.h>
	#include <Aspose.Words.Cpp/Saving/OoxmlCompliance.h>
	#include <Aspose.Words.Cpp/Saving/OoxmlSaveOptions.h>

	#include <system/io/file.h>
	#include <drawing/color.h>

	using System::ArrayPtr;
	using System::MakeArray;
	using System::MakeObject;
	using System::SharedPtr;
	using System::String;

	using namespace Aspose::Words;
	using namespace Aspose::Words::Saving;
	using namespace System::Drawing;


	class CreatingWordDocumentinCPP
	{
	public:
	void CreateWordDocumentinCPP()
	{
	// Access liense file and set for API
	System::String WordsLicenseFileName = u"Aspose.Total.NET.lic";
	SharedPtr<License> wordsLic = System::MakeObject<License>();
	wordsLic->SetLicense(WordsLicenseFileName);

	// Create Document Class instance to add a blank Word document
	SharedPtr<Document> WordDocUsingCPP = MakeObject<Document>();

	// Create instance of DocumentBuilder class to process the Word Document
	SharedPtr<DocumentBuilder> WordDocBuilder = MakeObject<DocumentBuilder>(WordDocUsingCPP);


	// Insert a string surrounded by a border
	WordDocBuilder->get_Font()->get_Border()->set_Color(Color::get_Green());
	WordDocBuilder->get_Font()->get_Border()->set_LineWidth(2.5);
	WordDocBuilder->get_Font()->get_Border()->set_LineStyle(LineStyle::DashDotStroker);
	WordDocBuilder->Write(u"Text with a green border around it.");

	// Remove the font formatting and set it explicitly
	WordDocBuilder->get_Font()->ClearFormatting();

	// Adding paragraph break for text
	WordDocBuilder->InsertBreak(BreakType::ParagraphBreak);
	WordDocBuilder->Write(u"For more info, please visit oue site");

	// Add a hyperlink and using custom formatting. The hyperlink shall
	// be a clickable text which will redirect to URL set inside it
	WordDocBuilder->get_Font()->set_Color(Color::get_Blue());
	WordDocBuilder->get_Font()->set_Underline(Underline::Single);
	WordDocBuilder->InsertHyperlink(u"Aspose Knowledge Base", u"https://kb.aspose.com/", false);
	WordDocBuilder->get_Font()->ClearFormatting();
	WordDocBuilder->Writeln(u".");

	SharedPtr <OoxmlSaveOptions> DocSaveOptions = MakeObject<OoxmlSaveOptions>();
	DocSaveOptions->set_Compliance(OoxmlCompliance::Iso29500_2008_Strict);
	DocSaveOptions->set_SaveFormat(SaveFormat::Docx);

	// Save the generated DOCX file using Save method
	WordDocUsingCPP->Save(u"Word_Doc_Created_using_CPP.docx", DocSaveOptions);
	}
	};
