Remarks

The source stream can be non-seekable. In this case, the stream is buffered automatically. After loading the document, the stream remains open.

Tip

The method can be used to load HTML files with external references.

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

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