Hello Richview-Support,
I have the following question: Is it possible to indent bullet points with a tab in TRichview?
In my Richviewedit i have these bullet points

: BulletPoints Ausgangssituation.png (1.19 KiB) Viewed 4610 times

If I press tab, only the text moves.+

In Word, the next indent will be triggered.

I use the TrvActionIndentDec (action for "Decrease Indent" command) and TrvActionIndentInc (action for "Increase Indent" command) actions. I have those assigned to some toolbar buttons.

I also put this into the rveKeyPress event so I can select some text and move it in or out using tab/shift+tab like the Delphi IDE:

Code: Select all

  if Key=#9 then
  begin
    if rve.SelectionExists then
    begin
      Key := #0;
      //Shift + Tab when text selected (remove tabs):
      if (GetKeyState( VK_SHIFT ) and $8000 <> 0) then
      begin
        RVEParagraphrvActionIndentDec1.ExecuteTarget(rve);
      end
      else //Tab when text selected (add tabs)
      begin
        RVEParagraphrvActionIndentInc1.ExecuteTarget(rve);
      end;
    end;
  end;

Sergey may have some other answer(s) but that's what I use. It works on bulleted text.
