Namespace: DevExpress.Xpf.RichEdit
Assembly: DevExpress.Xpf.RichEdit.v20.2.dll
NuGet Packages: DevExpress.WindowsDesktop.Wpf.RichEdit, DevExpress.Wpf.RichEdit
Declaration
public virtual bool LoadDocumentTemplate(
string fileName,
DocumentFormat documentFormat
)Parameters
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| fileName | String | A string specifying the file to load (including the full path). |
| documentFormat | DocumentFormat | One of the DocumentFormat enumeration values 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 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 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.
