RichEditControl.LoadDocument(Stream, DocumentFormat, Boolean) Method

Loads a document from a stream, specifying the document format and optionally leaving the stream open.

Namespace: DevExpress.Xpf.RichEdit

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

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Wpf.RichEdit

#Declaration

public virtual bool LoadDocument(
    Stream stream,
    DocumentFormat documentFormat,
    bool leaveOpen
)

#Parameters

Name Type Description
stream Stream

The stream from which to load a document.

documentFormat DocumentFormat

One of the DocumentFormat enumeration members indicating the document format.

leaveOpen Boolean

true to leave the stream opened; otherwise, false.

#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.

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

Tip

Determine a moment when the document model can be safely modified using the RichEditControl.DocumentLoaded event. Call the LoadDocument method in the Form.Loaded event handler to work with the DocumentLoaded event. Handle the DocumentLayout.DocumentFormatted event to check the loaded document’s layout.
