Set Tab Stops in ppRichText Control

edited August 2001 in General
How do you set the tab stops in a ppRichText control? Using the editor it
seem I can only set one tab.

    Check out RBAddOn's RichText control. www.bancoems.com\RBAddOn.htm There
    is a tab stop position editor that where you can specify more than one tab
    stop position, although there isn't a visual indicator their editor.

    Are you saying that you cannot set tabs with ReportBuilder's RichText
    Control?

    You'll need to access the Paragraph property of the TppRichText to set the
    tab stop positions. The bottom arrow in the native designer allows you to
    set one tabstop position visually. I was pointing you to the RBAddOn,
    because you can specify more than one tab stop positions without having to
    access the paragraph property.

    That's OK. I have accessed them through the Paragraph property.
    Unfortunately nothing happens. I set a TAB[0] := 1000 and the column is in
    the same position as not having set it at all.

    I set the tab after I populate the ppRichText using SelectAll then setting
    the Tab stop. The ppRichText.RichText contains Tab controls (#9) which I
    assume will perform the same function as pressing the Tab Key.

    I found that by Setting TabStops := 3 then set the individual tabs it works.
