Public Property LeftIndent As Integer

Examples

The following example applies LeftIndent 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,
    LeftIndent = 720
};
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,
    .LeftIndent = 720
}
textControl.Selection.ListFormat = listFormat

Remarks

The property's default value is 0.

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