Alignment { get; set; }	Gets or sets the alignment of text at this tab stop.
IsClear { get; }	Returns `true` if this tab stop clears any existing tab stops in this position.
Leader { get; set; }	Gets or sets the type of the leader line displayed under the tab character.

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.

Document doc = new Document(MyDir + "Table of contents.docx");

// Iterate through all paragraphs with TOC result-based styles; this is any style between TOC and TOC9.
foreach (Paragraph para in doc.GetChildNodes(NodeType.Paragraph, true))
    if (para.ParagraphFormat.Style.StyleIdentifier >= StyleIdentifier.Toc1 &&
        para.ParagraphFormat.Style.StyleIdentifier <= StyleIdentifier.Toc9)
    {
        // Get the first tab used in this paragraph, this should be the tab used to align the page numbers.
        TabStop tab = para.ParagraphFormat.TabStops[0];

        // Replace the first default tab, stop with a custom tab stop.
        para.ParagraphFormat.TabStops.RemoveByPosition(tab.Position);
        para.ParagraphFormat.TabStops.Add(tab.Position - 50, tab.Alignment, tab.Leader);
    }
