Internal Document Model and Import/Export Operations

Important

The TdxRichEditDocumentServer component does not work natively with documents in the DOC format. Instead, the component builds a document model in memory using an internal XML-like format. You can edit the current document directly using API members accessible through the Document property.

The DocBytes property value’s read/write operations export/import document content. You can use the following properties to configure DOC export/import settings:

Options.Export.DocProvides access to settings applied to saving the current document to the Microsoft Word® 97 – 2003 binary document (DOC) file.Options.Import.DocProvides access to settings applied to importing Microsoft Word® 97 – 2003 binary documents (DOC files).

Enable Support for DOC Format

Support for the Microsoft Word® binary format is initially disabled for the TdxRichEditDocumentServer component to avoid excessive dependencies.

Note

If support for the target format of an import/export operation is disabled, an exception occurs.

To enable support for the DOC format in your application, expand the Add Unit to Support menu item, and add all required dependencies at design time or in code.

At Design Time

Right-click a TdxRichEditDocumentServer component, check the Word Binary File (DOC) option, and save your project to add all required dependencies automatically.

In Delphi Code

Add the dxRichEit.Doc unit to the uses clause of the same unit where the TdxRichEditDocumentServer component is placed. If you build the project with runtime packages, add dxRichEditControlDocFormatRS~ to the list of runtime packages.

In C++Builder Code

Add the following directives to the same source files where the TdxRichEditDocumentServer component is placed:

1. #include "dxRichEdit.Doc.hpp" (to the target HPP file)
2. #pragma link "dxRichEdit.Doc.hpp" (to the corresponding CPP file)

Other Document Import/Export Options

You can also use the following API members to import/export document content in different supported[1] formats:

HtmlTextSpecifies document content as a string (in the HTML format).OpenXmlBytesSpecifies document content as a byte array (in the Office OpenXML format).RtfTextSpecifies document content (as an RTF string).TextSpecifies document content (as a plain text string).LoadDocument | LoadDocumentTemplate | SaveDocumentExport/import document content to/from a file or stream in any supported format.

Footnotes

1. Ensure that support for all required document formats is enabled; otherwise, an exception occurs.
   Refer to corresponding API member descriptions for detailed information on support for different document formats.
