TdxRichEditControlBase.LoadDocument(string,TdxRichEditDocumentFormat) Method

Loads a document from the specified file.

#Declaration

Delphi
procedure LoadDocument(const AFileName: string; ADocumentFormat: TdxRichEditDocumentFormat); overload;

#Parameters

Name Type Description
AFileName string

An absolute or relative path to a target file.

ADocumentFormat TdxRichEditDocumentFormat

A document format.

#Remarks

If the ADocumentFormat parameter accepts the TdxRichEditDocumentFormat.Undefined value, the LoadDocument procedure detects the target format by the filename extension. If the file name has no extension, the LoadDocument procedure iterates through all supported document formats to find the best possible match in the target file’s content.

A successful LoadDocument method call updates the Options.DocumentSaveOptions.CurrentFileName and Options.DocumentSaveOptions.CurrentFormat properties and raises the OnDocumentLoaded event.

You can link the LoadDocument command to a UI element in your application to allow users to import documents.

Note

The Rich Edit control has built-in support only for the plain text and RTF document formats to avoid excessive dependencies. Refer to the following topic for information on how to enable the DOC, DOCX, and HTML formats: Rich Edit Control: Document Management.

A LoadDocument procedure call cannot export a document to the specified format if it is disabled.
