Update a String Property in XMP

See more XMP Examples

Demonstrates how to open a JPG or TIF image file, access the XMP metadata, and update the value of a string property. (If the string property does not already exist, it is created.) Unicode C++

    bool success = false;

    // This example assumes the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
    // See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

    // Load a JPG or TIF image file.
    success = xmp.LoadAppFile(L"qa_data/xmp/AJ_123642_1511.tif");

    // This example assumes that XMP metadata is already present in the image file.
    if (xmp.get_NumEmbedded() == 0) {
        wprintf(L"No XMP metadata already exists..\n");
        return;

    CkXmlW *xml = 0;

    // Show the XML:
    wprintf(L"%s\n",xml->getXml());

    // Update (overwrite) a string property.
    xmp.AddSimpleStr(*xml,L"NumberofTimes",L"123");
