Namespace: DevExpress.XtraRichEdit

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

NuGet Package: DevExpress.RichEdit.Core

Declaration

public virtual bool LoadDocument(
    Stream stream,
    DocumentFormat documentFormat,
    string sourceUri
)

Parameters

Name Type Description
stream Stream

The stream from which to load the document.

documentFormat DocumentFormat

One of the DocumentFormat enumeration members, indicating the document format.

sourceUri String

A string representing the document URI.

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.

Tip

The method can be used to load HTML files with external references.

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

Tip

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