Data Types
Integer.
Examples
The first of the following Basic examples moves the first tab to a new position 1 inch from the left border and changes it to a decimal tab. The second of the following Basic examples changes all the tabs to be right-aligned at 1/2 inch gradations:
TXTextControl1.TabCurrent = 1
TXTextControl1.TabType = 4
TXTextControl1.TabPos = 1440
' Delete all tabs
for n=14 to 1 step -1
TXTextControl1.TabCurrent = n
TXTextControl1.TabPos = 0
next n
' Create new tabs
for n=1 to 14
TXTextControl1.TabCurrent = n
TXTextControl1.TabPos = n*720
if (TXTextControl1.TabPos > 0) then _
TXTextControl1.TabType = 2
next n
Remarks
Text Control supports up to 14 tabs for each paragraph. Valid values for this property are 1 to 14.
Text Control sorts the tabs in ascending order whenever you change the position of a tab, so a tab's number can change when it is moved. In this case, the TabCurrent Property is updated to reflect the change. Tabs outside of the paragraph are automatically set to zero.
