RightIndent Property (Story Control)
Windows - Visual C++

Description
The RightIndent property sets or gets the right margin for the story text.

Running property is read/write.

Syntax
long value = m_rightIndent; // Get the right margin
m_rightIndent = value; // Set the right margin

The m_rightIndex is a variable:

Part	Description
value	A long integer containing the right margin, in twips, for the story text.

Remarks
You can use Visual C++'s TwipsPerPixelX and TwipsPerPixelY routines to convert from pixels to twips. A twip is a screen-independent measurement unit that is used to ensure the placement and proportion of screen elements in your screen application are the same on all display systems. A twip is a unit of screen measurement equal to 1/20 of a printer's point. There are approximately 1440 twips to a logical inch or 567 twips to a logical centimeter.

After setting a new value for the right margin, the story control will automatically update.

The default value is 100.
