Remarks

Normally, a tab stop specifies a position where a tab stop exists. But because tab stops can be inherited from parent styles, it might be needed for the child object to define explicitly that there is no tab stop at a given position. To clear an inherited tab stop at a given position, create a TabStop object and set Alignment to Clear.

For more information see TabStopCollection.

Examples

Shows how to modify the position of the right tab stop in TOC related paragraphs.

auto doc = MakeObject<Document>(MyDir + u"Table of contents.docx");

// Iterate through all paragraphs with TOC result-based styles; this is any style between TOC and TOC9.
for (const auto& para : System::IterateOver(doc->GetChildNodes(NodeType::Paragraph, true)->LINQ_OfType<SharedPtr<Paragraph>>()))
{
    if (para->get_ParagraphFormat()->get_Style()->get_StyleIdentifier() >= StyleIdentifier::Toc1 &&
        para->get_ParagraphFormat()->get_Style()->get_StyleIdentifier() <= StyleIdentifier::Toc9)
    {
        // Get the first tab used in this paragraph, this should be the tab used to align the page numbers.
        SharedPtr<TabStop> tab = para->get_ParagraphFormat()->get_TabStops()->idx_get(0);

        // Replace the first default tab, stop with a custom tab stop.
        para->get_ParagraphFormat()->get_TabStops()->RemoveByPosition(tab->get_Position());
        para->get_ParagraphFormat()->get_TabStops()->Add(tab->get_Position() - 50, tab->get_Alignment(), tab->get_Leader());
    }
}

doc->Save(ArtifactsDir + u"Styles.ChangeTocsTabStops.docx");
