WR DELETE TAB 


 

WR DELETE TAB ( area ; tabNum ) 
Parameter Type   Description
area  Longint in 4D Write area
tabNum  Longint in Tabulation number

The WR DELETE TAB command deletes the tab whose number (counting left-to-right) is passed in tabNum from the 4D Write area referenced by area. If other tabs are located at the same position, they too will be deleted.

Note: If the selection consists of several paragraphs, the tab numbering applies to the last selected paragraph.

Example  

You want to remove all the tab stops from your document:

 C_LONGINT(Area;$i;$TabNum;$uniform)
  `Inserting the cursor at the beginning of the area
 WR SET SELECTION(Area;0;0)
  `Counting the number of paragraphs in the document
 NbParag:=WR Count(Area;wr nb paragraphs)
  `Processing each paragraph
 For($i;1;NbParag)
  `Getting the position of the paragraph
    WR GET PARAGRAPHS(Area;START;Pos)
  `Going inside the paragraph
    WR SET SELECTION(Area;START+1;START+1)
  `Getting the number of tab stops
    $TabNum:=WR Get text property(Area;wr tab;$uniform)
    While($TabNum#0)
       WR DELETE TAB(Area;1)
       $TabNum:=$TabNum-1
    End while
  `Repositioning just after the last processed paragraph
    WR GET SELECTION(Area;Pos;Pos)
 End for
