Examples

The following code example demonstrates how to specify indented text within the RichTextBox using the SelectionIndent property. This example requires that a RichTextBox control, named richTextBox1, has been added to the form.

private:
   void WriteIndentedTextToRichTextBox()
   {
      // Clear all text from the RichTextBox;
      richTextBox1->Clear();

      // Specify a 20 pixel indent in all paragraphs.
      richTextBox1->SelectionIndent = 20;

      // Set the font for the text.
      richTextBox1->Font = gcnew System::Drawing::Font( "Lucinda Console",12 );

      // Set the text within the control.
      richTextBox1->SelectedText = "All text is indented 20 pixels from the left edge of the RichTextBox.";
      richTextBox1->SelectedText = "You can use this property to provide proper indentation such as when writing a letter.";
      richTextBox1->SelectedText = "After this paragraph the indent is returned to normal spacing.\n\n";
      richTextBox1->SelectionIndent = 0;
      richTextBox1->SelectedText = "No indenation is applied to this paragraph. All text in the paragraph flows from each control edge.";
   }

private void WriteIndentedTextToRichTextBox()
{
    // Clear all text from the RichTextBox;
    richTextBox1.Clear();
    // Specify a 20 pixel indent in all paragraphs.
    richTextBox1.SelectionIndent = 20;
    // Set the font for the text.
    richTextBox1.Font = new Font("Lucinda Console", 12);
    // Set the text within the control.
    richTextBox1.SelectedText = "All text is indented 20 pixels from the left edge of the RichTextBox.";
    richTextBox1.SelectedText = "You can use this property to provide proper indentation such as when writing a letter.";
    richTextBox1.SelectedText = "After this paragraph the indent is returned to normal spacing.\n\n";
    richTextBox1.SelectionIndent = 0;
    richTextBox1.SelectedText = "No indenation is applied to this paragraph. All text in the paragraph flows from each control edge.";
}

Private Sub WriteIndentedTextToRichTextBox()
   ' Clear all text from the RichTextBox;
   RichTextBox1.Clear()
   ' Set the font for the text.
   RichTextBox1.Font = New Font("Lucinda Console", 12)
   ' Specify a 20 pixel indent in all paragraphs.
   RichTextBox1.SelectionIndent = 20
   ' Set the text within the control.
   RichTextBox1.SelectedText = "All text is indented 20 pixels from the left edge of the RichTextBox."
   RichTextBox1.SelectedText = "You can use this property to provide proper indentation such as when writing a letter."
   RichTextBox1.SelectedText = "After this paragraph the indent is returned to normal spacing." + ControlChars.Crlf
   RichTextBox1.SelectionIndent = 0
   RichTextBox1.SelectedText = "No indenation is applied to this paragraph. All text in the paragraph flows from each control edge."
End Sub

Remarks

If no text is currently selected, the indentation setting is applied to the paragraph in which the insertion point appears and to all text that is typed into the control after the insertion point. The indentation setting applies until the property is changed to a different value or until the insertion point is moved to a different paragraph within the control.

If text is selected within the control, the selected text and any text entered after the text selection will have the value of this property applied to it. You can use this property to indent paragraphs contained in document of the RichTextBox. You can use this property in conjunction with the SelectionRightIndent to create paragraphs displayed in paragraphs.

To create a hanging indent for paragraphs in the control, use the SelectionHangingIndent property.
