Members

Name	Description	Import/Export Settings	Support / Required Dependencies
Undefined	The document format is undefined. Document import routines iterate through all supported formats to find the best possible match. Document export routines use the Options.DocumentSaveOptions.DefaultFormat or Options.DocumentSaveOptions.CurrentFormat property to determine the target document format for a new or existing file, respectively.	N/A	N/A
PlainText	The plain text format (TXT).	Options.Export.PlainText/Options.Import.PlainText	Built-in Support
Rtf	The Rich Text format (RTF).	Options.Export.Rtf/Options.Import.Rtf	dxRichEdit.Rtf (add only for TdxRichEditDocumentServer)
Html	The HyperText Markup Language (HTML) format. DevExpress Rich Text components have no web browser or HTML editor functionality because they do not work with HTML tags directly. HTML import routines interpret tags in a source document and build an internal document model according to the current import settings. Important HTML import and export routines support only a limited subset of the modern HTML standard; therefore, imported and exported documents may look different compared to corresponding source documents.	Options.Export.Html/Options.Import.Html	dxRichEdit.Html
OpenXml	The Office OpenXML file format (DOCX/DOTX, the default Microsoft Word® 2007 document format). DevExpress Rich Text components support document encryption for this format. A document export operation enforces password protection after a Document.SetEncryptionPassword procedure call.	Options.Export.OpenXml/Options.Import.OpenXml	dxRichEdit.OpenXML
Doc	The document binary file format (DOC, the Microsoft Word® format, used as the default document format in Microsoft Office® 2003 and earlier versions).	Options.Export.Doc/Options.Import.Doc	dxRichEdit.Doc

Remarks

TdxRichEditControl and TdxRichEditDocumentServer components allow you to import/export documents to/from a file or stream in a format of your choice: RTF, TXT, DOCX, HTML, and DOC.

Note

TdxRichEditDocumentFormat is a scoped enumeration type. Use the type name together with a scope resolution token (. in Delphi or :: in C++Builder) followed by an enumeration value to refer to this value. For example, use TdxRichEditDocumentFormat.Rtf (in Delphi) or TdxRichEditDocumentFormat::Rtf (in C++Builder) to refer to the Rtf value in code.

Support for Individual Document Formats

DevExpress Rich Text components initially support only a limited number of document formats to avoid excessive dependencies:

TdxRichEditControl

Has predefined support only for TXT and RTF.

TdxRichEditDocumentServer

Has predefined support only for TXT.
