### Description

Gets or sets the symbol character for a bulleted list. It must be a value from the Windows Symbol character set.

### Syntax

```csharp
public char BulletCharacter { get; set; }
```

```vbnet
Public Property BulletCharacter As Char
```

### Examples

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

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

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

```vbnet
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](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-dotnet-winforms/reference/txtextcontrol/selection/iscommonvalueselected-method/llms-full.txt) method can be used to check for mixed attributes.
