  • RichEditControl.LoadDocumentTemplate(Byte[]) Method

    Loads a document template from a byte array.

    Namespace: DevExpress.Xpf.RichEdit

    Assembly: DevExpress.Xpf.RichEdit.v25.1.dll

    NuGet Package: DevExpress.Wpf.RichEdit

    Declaration

    public bool LoadDocumentTemplate(
        byte[] buffer
    )

    Parameters

    Name Type Description
    buffer Byte[]

    A byte array that contains document data.

    Returns

    Type Description
    Boolean

    true if the document was successfully loaded; otherwise, false.

    Remarks

    A document template cannot be overwritten either in code or in the UI. The information about the original file location and its format is dropped. An attempt to save (i.e., overwrite) the original document invokes the Save As dialog.

    The RichEditControl uses the built-in IFormatDetectorService service implementation to detect the loaded document’s format. If format detection fails, the RichEditControl.InvalidFormatException event fires.

    Tip

    Use the LoadDocument method overloads with explicit format definition to improve performance.
