ITextDocument and IStream

[Christian B MacLeod Guest]

In the documentation for ITextDocument it states that you can pass an
IStream interface (object implementing an IStream interface) to the Open
method of ITextDocument instead of a filename. I cannot get this to work. It
always returns an Invalid Arguments error.
Nor can I get it to Save back to a Stream object.

Can anyone confirm if this functionallity does indeed work for the RichEdit
V3.0 control?

If so, can I have an example bit of code to do it...

I am trying to check if it works by using SHCreateStreamOnFile and passing
in a filename that works when I try it directly...

Any thoughts?

No it does not work. See

With sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine. However, this is not
necessarily a good idea. It is hard to be sure where they are going to
land, and it could be dangerous sitting under them as they fly
overhead. -- RFC 1925

Thanks for your prompt reply, even if it was not good news for me.

Do you know if it is intended to fix this at any point?

At least I can now work on a workaround instead of trying to get the actual
function to work.
