Document.LoadDocument(Stream, DocumentFormat) Method

Loads a document from a stream, specifying the document format.

Namespace: DevExpress.XtraRichEdit.API.Native

Assembly: DevExpress.RichEdit.v24.2.Core.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.RichEdit.Core

#Declaration

bool LoadDocument(
    Stream stream,
    DocumentFormat format
)

#Parameters

Name Type Description
stream Stream

The stream from which to load a document.

format DocumentFormat

One of the DocumentFormat enumeration members indicating the document format.

#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.

If the document is in a different format than specified or the passed stream is null, the RichEditControl.InvalidFormatException event fires.

Determine a moment when the document model can be safely modified using the RichEditControl.DocumentLoaded, RichEditDocumentServer.DocumentLoaded or RichEditControl.DocumentLoaded event. Handle the DocumentLayout.DocumentFormatted event to check the loaded document’s layout.
