| Name | Type | Description |

| stream | Stream |
The stream from which to load a document.
| | documentFormat | DocumentFormat |
One of the DocumentFormat enumeration members, indicating the document format.

| Type | Description |

| Boolean |
true if the document is successfully loaded; otherwise, false.

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.
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 the passed stream is null , the RichEditControl.InvalidFormatException event fires.
The code sample below loads a document template from a stream. The IFormatDetectorService.DetectFormat(Stream) method determines the format of the template contained in the stream.
using (Stream stream = System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetManifestResourceStream("LoadDocumentExample.TextWithImagesODT"))
{
DocumentFormat format = richEditControl1.GetService<IFormatDetectorService>().DetectFormat(stream);
richEditControl1.LoadDocumentTemplate(stream, format);
}
Using stream As Stream = System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetManifestResourceStream("LoadDocumentExample.TextWithImagesODT")
Dim format As DocumentFormat = richEditControl1.GetService(Of IFormatDetectorService)().DetectFormat(stream)
richEditControl1.LoadDocumentTemplate(stream, format)
End Using
