Edit_SetTabStops macro (windowsx.h)

Sets the tab stops in a multiline edit or rich edit control. When text is copied to the control, any tab character in the text causes space to be generated up to the next tab stop. You can use this macro or send the EM_SETTABSTOPS message explicitly.

Syntax

void Edit_SetTabStops(
   hwndCtl,
   cTabs,
   lpTabs
);

Parameters

hwndCtl

Type: HWND

A handle to the control.

cTabs

Type: int

The number of tab stops contained in the array. If this parameter is zero, the lpTabs parameter is ignored and default tab stops are set at every 32 dialog template units. If this parameter is 1, tab stops are set at every n dialog template units, where n is the distance pointed to by the lpTabs parameter. If this parameter is greater than 1, lpTabs is a pointer to an array of tab stops.

lpTabs

Type: int*

A pointer to an array of unsigned integers specifying the tab stops, in dialog template units. If cTabs is 1, this parameter is a pointer to an unsigned integer containing the distance between all tab stops, in dialog template units.

Return value

None
