Case of PDF and DOCX files with a huge number of pages

If the PDF or DOCX file opened in the control contains a huge number of pages, the control loads each page successively: some pages are not immediately accessible.

In this case:

..NumberPage is a locking property: it waits for the end of file load. The application is locked.
..NumberAccessiblePages returns the number of PDF pages currently loaded without having to wait for the end of load.
..NumberDisplayedPage returns the number of the page currently displayed in the control (more than 50% of the page is displayed in the control).
