The PARAFORMAT structure contains information about paragraph formatting attributes in a rich edit control. This structure is used with the EM_GETPARAFORMAT and EM_SETPARAFORMAT messages.
typedef struct _paraformat {
UINT cbSize;
_WPAD _wPad1;
DWORD dwMask;
WORD wNumbering;
WORD wReserved;
LONG dxStartIndent;
LONG dxRightIndent;
LONG dxOffset;
WORD wAlignment;
SHORT cTabCount;
LONG rgxTabs[MAX_TAB_STOPS];
} PARAFORMAT;
Members
cbSize
Size in bytes of this structure. Must be filled before passing to the rich edit control.
dwMask
Members containing valid information or attributes to set. This parameter can be zero or more of these values:
| Value | Meaning |
| PFM_ALIGNMENT | The wAlignment member is valid. |
| PFM_NUMBERING | The wNumbering member is valid. |
| PFM_OFFSET | The dxOffset member is valid. |
| PFM_OFFSETINDENT | The dxStartIndent member is valid and specifies a relative value. |
| PFM_RIGHTINDENT | The dxRightIndent member is valid. |
| PFM_STARTINDENT | The dxStartIndent member is valid. |
| PFM_TABSTOPS | The cTabStobs and rgxTabStops members are valid. |
If both PFM_STARTINDENT and PFM_OFFSETINDENT are specified, PFM_STARTINDENT takes precedence.
wNumbering
Value specifying numbering options. This member can be zero or PFN_BULLET.
dxStartIndent
Indentation of the first line in the paragraph. If the paragraph formatting is being set and PFM_OFFSETINDENT is specified, this member is treated as a relative value that is added to the starting indentation of each affected paragraph.
dxRightIndent
Size of the right indentation, relative to the right margin.
dxOffset
Indentation of the second line and subsequent lines, relative to the starting indentation. The first line is indented if this member is negative, or outdented is this member is positive.
wAlignment
Value specifying the paragraph alignment. This member can be one of the following values:
| Value | Meaning |
| PFA_LEFT | Paragraphs are aligned with the left margin. |
| PFA_RIGHT | Paragraphs are aligned with the right margin. |
| PFA_CENTER | Paragraphs are centered. |
cTabCount
Number of tab stops.
rgxTabs
Array of absolute tab stop positions.
