Namespace: DevExpress.Xpf.RichEdit

Assembly: DevExpress.Xpf.RichEdit.v23.2.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Wpf.RichEdit

Declaration

C#

public virtual bool LoadDocumentTemplate(
    Stream stream,
    DocumentFormat documentFormat
)

VB.NET

Public Overridable Function LoadDocumentTemplate(
    stream As Stream,
    documentFormat As DocumentFormat
) As Boolean

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.

Returns

Type	Description
Boolean	true, if the document is successfully loaded; otherwise, false.

Remarks

The document template cannot be automatically 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 that enables the end-user to specify a different file name and format.

The source stream can be non-seekable. In this case, the stream is buffered automatically. After loading the document, the stream remains open.

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

Determine a moment when the document model can be safely modified using the RichEditControl.DocumentLoaded event. Call the LoadDocumentTemplate 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.
