TextAfterNumber Property

Description

Gets or sets the text that is displayed behind the number in a numbered list. If this property is an empty string, no additional text is diplayed behind the number. This property replaces the CharAfterNumber property of this class.

Syntax

public string TextAfterNumber { get; set; }

Public Property TextAfterNumber As String

Examples

The following example applies TextAfterNumber while converting three selected paragraphs into a usable numbered list.

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

ListFormat listFormat = new()
{
    Type = ListType.Numbered,
    TextAfterNumber = ") "
};
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.Numbered,
    .TextAfterNumber = ") "
}
textControl.Selection.ListFormat = listFormat

Remarks

The property returns an empty string when the text selection contains multiple paragraphs with mixed settings or when the text selection does not contain a numbered list. The Selection.IsCommonValueSelected method can be used to check for mixed attributes.
