C++ example

#include <ctime>
#include "independentsoft/msg/message.hpp"

using namespace independentsoft::msg;

// Convert std::time_t to FILETIME (100-ns ticks since 1601-01-01)
int64_t to_filetime(std::time_t t)
{
    return (static_cast<int64_t>(t) + 11644473600LL) * 10000000LL;
}

int main()
{
    Message task;

    task.set_message_class(u"IPM.Task");
    task.set_subject(u"Test");
    task.set_body(u"Body text");
    task.set_owner(u"John");
    task.set_task_status(TaskStatus::NotStarted);
    task.set_priority(Priority::High);

    std::time_t now = std::time(nullptr);
    task.set_task_start_date(to_filetime(now + 86400));      // tomorrow
    task.set_task_due_date(to_filetime(now + 5 * 86400));    // in 5 days

    task.save("c:/temp/task.msg", true);
    return 0;
}
