IRichEditDocumentServer.LoadDocument(Stream, DocumentFormat) Method

Loads a document from a stream, specifying the document format.

Namespace : DevExpress.XtraRichEdit

Assembly : DevExpress.RichEdit.v25.2.Core.dll

NuGet Package : DevExpress.RichEdit.Core

Declaration

• C#
• VB.NET

bool LoadDocument(
    Stream stream,
    DocumentFormat documentFormat
)

Function LoadDocument(
    stream As Stream,
    documentFormat As DocumentFormat
) As Boolean

Parameters

The stream from which to load a document.

| | documentFormat | DocumentFormat |

One of the DocumentFormat enumeration members indicating the document format.

|

Returns

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.

If the document is in a different format than specified or if the passed stream is null , the RichEditControl.InvalidFormatException event fires.

Tip

Determine a moment when the document model can be safely modified using the RichEditDocumentServer.DocumentLoaded event. Handle the DocumentLayout.DocumentFormatted event to check the loaded document’s layout.
