TParaAttributes.Numbering Property

Specifies whether the paragraph is one of a set of bulleted paragraphs.

Pascal

property Numbering: TNumberingStyle;

C++

__property TNumberingStyle Numbering;

Description

To insert a bullet to the left of the paragraph, and indent the paragraph sufficiently to accommodate the bullet, set Numbering to nsBullet. If the LeftIndent property is set, bullets will appear at the indentation indicated by LeftIndent, and the body of the paragraph will be further indented to accommodate the bullets.

These are the possible values:

Value	Meaning
nsNone	No numbering on the left.
nsBullet	Bullets on the left with sufficient indentation for the bullets.

This example requires only a form.  A Rich Edit control is
created on the form and aligned to take the entire client
area of the form.  A series of lines are written to the Rich
Edit control's Lines property, and the Paragraph property
manipulated such that the first items displayed are bulleted,
a second group of lines are unbulleted and centered, and the
last group is left justified and indented.
