) As Boolean

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
buffer	Byte[]	A byte array that contains document data.
format	DocumentFormat	An enumeration member that specifies the format of the loaded document.
sourceUri	String	The document’s URI. You can use this parameter to load files associated with an HTML document.

Tip

Use the RichEditDocumentServer.DocumentLoaded, RichEditControl.DocumentLoaded (WinForms), or RichEditControl.DocumentLoaded (WPF) event to determine when you can safely modify the document model. Handle the DocumentLayout.DocumentFormatted event to check document layout-related data and objects.
