Call the SaveDocument procedure to export the current document to a file in any supported format.
The SaveDocument procedure uses the specified file name extension to identify the target document format. If the file name includes no extension, SaveDocument uses the default or current document format.
Support for all document formats, except for TXT and RTF, is initially disabled for the TdxRichEditControl component to avoid excessive dependencies. To enable support for available formats, add all required dependencies at design time or in code:
| Extension | Document Format | Format Value | Import/Export Settings | Support / Required Dependencies |
|---|---|---|---|---|
TXT/txt | Plain Text | PlainText | Options.Import.PlainText/Options.Export.PlainText | Built-in Support |
RTF/rtf | Rich Text Format | Rtf | Options.Import.Rtf/Options.Export.Rtf | Built-in Support |
DOC/doc | Microsoft Word® 97 – 2003 | Doc | Options.Import.Doc/Options.Export.Doc | dxRichEdit.Doc |
HTML/html | Hypertext Markup Language | Html | Options.Import.Html/Options.Export.Html | dxRichEdit.Html |
DOCX/docx | Office OpenXML | OpenXml | Options.Import.OpenXml/Options.Export.OpenXml | dxRichEdit.OpenXML |
At design time, you can right-click the TdxRichEditControl component, expand the Add Unit to Support menu item, and add all required dependencies.
The TdxRichEditControl component ships with the following action classes you can use to add Save and Save As end-user commands in your application:
TdxRichEditControlSaveDocumentA SaveDocument command’s action object.TdxRichEditControlSaveDocumentAsA SaveDocumentAs command action object.
