Document.LoadDocument(Stream) Method
Loads a document from the stream.
Namespace: DevExpress.XtraRichEdit.API.Native
Assembly: DevExpress.RichEdit.v24.2.Core.dll
NuGet Package: DevExpress.RichEdit.Core
Declaration
Parameters
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| stream | Stream | A Stream object that is the stream used to load a document. |
Returns
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Boolean | true, if the document is successfully loaded; otherwise, false. |
Remarks
The source stream can be non-seekable. In this case, the stream is buffered automatically. After loading the document, the stream remains open.
The format of the document loaded from a stream is detected automatically by the built-in IFormatDetectorService service implementation. The following formats are detected:
- DOC, DOCM, DOTX, DOT, DOTM, DOCX, RTF, HTM, HTML, MHT, XML, FlatOpc, EPUB;
- ODT - non-encrypted files only.
Plain text cannot be detected automatically. To load a plain text document, use another method override with DocumentFormat.PlainText as a parameter.
If the format detection fails or the passed stream is null, the RichEditControl.InvalidFormatException event fires.
Use the RichEditControl.DocumentLoaded (WinForms), RichEditDocumentServer.DocumentLoaded or RichEditControl.DocumentLoaded (WPF) event to determine a moment when the document model can be safely modified. Handle the DocumentLayout.DocumentFormatted event to check the loaded document’s layout.
Tip
Define the format explicitly in the LoadDocument method overloads to improve performance.
