Get a Structure Property Value from XMP

See more XMP Examples

Demonstrates how to open a JPG or TIF image file, access the XMP metadata, and fetch the value of a structure property, such as the Iptc4xmpCore:CiTelWork (found within the Iptc4xmpCore:CreatorContactInfo structure). Visual FoxPro

* This requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
* See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

loXmp = CreateObject('Chilkat.Xmp')

* Load a JPG or TIF image file.
* Sample JPG's with XMP metadata may be found at:

? "Num embedded XMP docs: " + STR(loXmp.NumEmbedded)

* Assuming there is at least one, get the 1st.
