TTabStop Class Reference

class TTabStop

A tab stop.

This is a position on a page used to align columns of text. It has a twips position and an alignment. The twips position is the width in twips (1/1440th of an inch) of the tab stop, i.e. the number of twips from the start of the line at which text can be inserted. It uniquely identifies the tab stop. The alignment (left, right, or centre) indicates how text inserted at the tab stop should be aligned.

Tab stops are paragraph format attributes. They are owned by the CParaFormat class, through which tab stops can be added and removed.
