Load a map document into the PageLayoutControl

PurposeThe Browse dialog box allows users to search and select map documents (*.mxd, *.mxt, and *.pmf) that are loaded into the PageLayoutControl using the LoadMxFile method. As .pmf map documents can be password protected, this is checked for using IMapDocument.IsPasswordProtected. If the document is password protected, the user will be prompted for the password.
