Description

Gets or sets the hanging indent, in twips, at the current input position. If text is selected, the property specifies the hanging indent of the whole selected text. A negative value indicates an additional indent of the paragraph's first line.

Syntax

public int? HangingIndent { get; set; }

Public Property HangingIndent As Integer?

Examples

The following XAML example binds the HangingIndent property to a text box using the WPF.MeasureConverter class. The value of the hanging indent is converted to centimeter.

…
xmlns:tx="clr-namespace:TXTextControl.WPF;assembly=TXTextControl.WPF"
…
<Window.Resources>
    <tx:MeasureConverter Unit="Centimeter" x:Key="twipsConv" />
</Window.Resources>
…
<TextBox 
    Text="{Binding
        ElementName=textControl1,
        Path=InputFormat.HangingIndent,
        Converter={StaticResource twipsConv},
        Mode=TwoWay}" />

The following example changes the formatting applied to text entered at the end of a document by using InputFormat.HangingIndent.

textControl.Text = "Project summary";
textControl.InputPosition = new InputPosition(textControl.Text.Length);
InputFormat inputFormat = textControl.InputFormat;

inputFormat.HangingIndent = 720;
if (inputFormat.HangingIndent != null)
{
    Console.WriteLine("Input Format: Hanging Indent is available.");
}

textControl.Text = "Project summary"
textControl.InputPosition = New InputPosition(textControl.Text.Length)
Dim inputFormat As InputFormat = textControl.InputFormat

inputFormat.HangingIndent = 720
If inputFormat.HangingIndent IsNot Nothing Then
    Console.WriteLine("Input Format: Hanging Indent is available.")
End If

Remarks

The property returns null when the text selection contains multiple paragraphs with different hanging indents.

The WPF.MeasureConverter can be used to convert the property value to another measuring unit.
