Hello,

I'm experimenting with a CRichEditCtrl and just need some help to get
started. I'm trying to set tabstop positions so I can display a read-only
multi-line table with aligned columns of text. I tried the code below, but
it has no effect, wherever I put the tabstop.

// m_textReport is a CRichEditCtrl
m_textReport.SetWindowText("Abc\tXyz\n");
m_textReport.SetSel(0, m_textReport.GetTextLength()-1);
PARAFORMAT pfmt;
pfmt.cbSize = sizeof(pfmt);
pfmt.dwMask = 0;
pfmt.wReserved = 0;
pfmt.dxStartIndent = 0;
pfmt.dxRightIndent = 0;
pfmt.dxOffset = 0;
pfmt.wAlignment = 0;
pfmt.cTabCount = 1;
pfmt.rgxTabs[0] = 10;
VERIFY(m_textReport.SetParaFormat(pfmt));

The control is shown and the text is there with "Xyz" at the default tab
position, but I can't move it. How can I get this working? I'm using Windows
XP SP1a and VC++ 6.0 SP6.

Try this

PARAFORMAT pfmt;
memset(&pfmt,0,sizeof(pfmt);
pfmt.cbSize = sizeof(pfmt);
pfmt.dwMask = PFM_TABSTOPS;
pfmt.cTabCount = 1;
pfmt.rgxTabs[0] = 100;
m_textReport.SetParaFormat(pfmt);

Thanks. I guess I should have read a bit more. It also didn't work because
my tabstop was too short. Even 1000 isn't very far.
