RichEditControl.LoadDocumentTemplate(String) Method

Loads a document template from the specified file.

Namespace: DevExpress.XtraRichEdit

Assembly: DevExpress.XtraRichEdit.v23.2.dll

NuGet Packages: DevExpress.Win.PivotGrid, DevExpress.Win.RichEdit, DevExpress.Win.TreeMap

Declaration

C#

public virtual bool LoadDocumentTemplate(
    string fileName
)

VB.NET

Public Overridable Function LoadDocumentTemplate(
    fileName As String
) As Boolean

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
fileName	String	A string specifying the file to load (including the full path).

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 code sample below loads a document template from a file.

C#

richEditControl.LoadDocumentTemplate("Documents//Template.docx");

VB.NET

richEditControl.LoadDocumentTemplate("Documents//Template.docx")

Tip

Use LoadDocumentTemplate method overloads which explicit format definition to improve performance.
