TabStopCollection

Inheritance: java.lang.Object, com.aspose.words.InternableComplexAttr

All Implemented Interfaces: java.lang.Cloneable

public class TabStopCollection extends InternableComplexAttr implements Cloneable

A collection of TabStop objects that represent custom tabs for a paragraph or a style.

To learn more, visit the Aspose.Words Document Object Model (DOM) documentation article.

Remarks:

In Microsoft Word documents, a tab stop can be defined in the properties of a paragraph style or directly in the properties of a paragraph. A style can be based on another style. Therefore, the complete set of tab stops for a given object is a combination of tab stops defined directly on this object and tab stops inherited from the parent styles.

In Aspose.Words, when you obtain a TabStopCollection for a paragraph or a style, it contains only the custom tab stops defined directly for this paragraph or style. The collection does not include tab stops defined in the parent styles or default tab stops.

Examples:

 Document doc = new Document();
 Paragraph paragraph = (Paragraph) doc.getChild(NodeType.PARAGRAPH, 0, true);

 // Below are two ways of adding tab stops to a paragraph's collection of tab stops via the "ParagraphFormat" property.
 // 1 -  Create a "TabStop" object, and then add it to the collection:
 TabStop tabStop = new TabStop(ConvertUtil.inchToPoint(3.0), TabAlignment.LEFT, TabLeader.DASHES);
 paragraph.getParagraphFormat().getTabStops().add(tabStop);

 // 2 -  Pass the values for properties of a new tab stop to the "Add" method:
 paragraph.getParagraphFormat().getTabStops().add(ConvertUtil.millimeterToPoint(100.0), TabAlignment.LEFT,
         TabLeader.DASHES);

 // Add tab stops at 5 cm to all paragraphs.
