Examples

The following example applies BulletCharacter while converting three selected paragraphs into a usable bulleted list.

textControl.Text = "Research\nDraft\nReview";
textControl.Select(0, textControl.Text.Length);

ListFormat listFormat = new()
{
    Type = ListType.Bulleted,
    BulletCharacter = '•'
};
textControl.Selection.ListFormat = listFormat;

textControl.Text = "Research" & vbCrLf & "Draft" & vbCrLf & "Review"
textControl.Select(0, textControl.Text.Length)

Dim listFormat As New ListFormat() With {
    .Type = ListType.Bulleted,
    .BulletCharacter = "•"c
}
textControl.Selection.ListFormat = listFormat

Remarks

The property's default value is the B7 (hexadecimal) character of the Windows Symbol character set.

The property returns its default value when the text selection contains multiple paragraphs with different bullet characters or when the text selection does not contain a bulleted list. The Selection.IsCommonValueSelected method can be used to check for mixed attributes.
