Examples

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

ListFormat listFormat = new()
{
    Type = ListType.Numbered,
    HangingIndent = 360
};
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,
    .HangingIndent = 360
}
textControl.Selection.ListFormat = listFormat

Remarks

The property's default value is 360 twips.

The property returns 0 when the text selection contains multiple paragraphs with mixed hanging 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.
