RichEditControl.LoadDocument(Stream, DocumentFormat, String) Method

Loads a document from the stream in the specified format. External content for HTML format is retrieved using the specified source (base) URI.

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,
    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 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.
