Indents and Numbered Lists
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?

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
