RichTextBox Bullet Indent (.NET Forms)

Question

In Microsoft Word, when making a bulleted list, pressing tab or backspace changes the position of the current bullet point, like this:

• Bullet One
  • Indented Bullet
• Bullet Two

However, In the RTB, pressing tab produces the following result:

• Bullet One
•       Indented Bullet
• Bullet Two

Is there any clean way to achieve this? Or do I need to look at creating a custom RTB? (If so please provide code snippet)

Thanks!

Answer 1

You can do it by using events, for example;

Code;

private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
     richTextBox1.SelectionBullet = true;
     richTextBox1.AcceptsTab = true;
}

private void richTextBox1_KeyUp(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
{
     if (e.KeyCode == Keys.Tab)
     {
          richTextBox1.SelectionIndent = 30;
     }
     if (e.KeyCode == Keys.Enter)
     {
          richTextBox1.SelectionIndent = 0;
     }
}

Result;

Hope helps,
