The following example shows you how to open an existing file and display some of task's properties.

C++ example

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include "independentsoft/msg/message.hpp"

using namespace independentsoft::msg;

int main()
{
    Message task("c:/temp/task.msg");

    auto str = [](const opt_text& s) -> std::string {
        if (!s) return {};
        std::string r;
        for (char16_t c : *s) r += static_cast<char>(c);
        return r;
    };

    std::cout << "Subject: " << str(task.subject()) << "\n";
    std::cout << "StartDate: " << task.task_start_date() << "\n";
    std::cout << "DueDate: " << task.task_due_date() << "\n";
    std::cout << "Owner: " << str(task.owner()) << "\n";
    std::cout << "PercentComplete: " << task.percent_complete() << "\n";
    std::cout << "TaskStatus: " << static_cast<int>(task.task_status()) << "\n";
    std::cout << "ActualWork: " << task.actual_work() << "\n";
    std::cout << "TotalWork: " << task.total_work() << "\n";
    std::cout << "DateCompleted: " << task.date_completed() << "\n";
    std::cout << "Body: " << str(task.body()) << "\n";
