Indents and Numbered Lists
The TX Text Control ActiveX button bar inserts numbered lists with different indentation than the ListType property alone. This code sample reproduces the exact button bar formatting by combining ListType with the IndentL and IndentFL properties to set the number-to-text spacing.
If you use the TX Text Control ActiveX button bar to insert a numbered list, you will get a different result than when you insert a numbered list simply using the ListType property.
Why is this?
The button bar implements an indent that defines the position between the number character and the text. This button behavior can be easily reproduced using the IndentL and IndentFL properties.
The following code reproduces this behavior exactly:
Private Sub Command1_Click()
TXTextControl1.NumberingAttribute(txNumberingFormatChar) = 0
TXTextControl1.ListType = txListNumbered
TXTextControl1.IndentL = 360
TXTextControl1.IndentFL = -360
TXTextControl1.SelText = "Line 1" + Chr(11) + "Line 2"
End SubActiveX
