Syntax
TabType(Pos)
Remarks
Returns the alignment of the custom or default tab stop at the position Pos, which is given in points (72 points = 1 inch). If more than one paragraph is selected, TabType() evaluates the setting in the first paragraph.
If there is no tab stop at the position Pos, TabType() returns –1. If there is a tab stop at Pos, TabType() returns one of the following values.
Value | Explanation | |
0 (zero) | Left-aligned or default | |
1 | Centered | |
2 | Right-aligned | |
3 | Decimal | |
4 | Bar | |
Example
This example determines whether a tab stop at the three-fourths – inch position
is centered. If it is, the FormatTabs instruction changes the alignment to left alignment.
If TabType(54) = 1 Then
FormatTabs .Position = "54 pt", .Align = 0
End If
