Is it possible to indent a text within a TEdit or a derived component (eg TLabeledEdit )? If so, how?
I do not want to align it ( Left, Center, Right ), I just want to indent it, as if it were the first line of a paragraph.
The application is VCL , not FireMonkey . Delphi XE7 .
You can send a message to the component by modifying its margin!
Try something like this:
LabeledEdit1.Perform(EM_SETMARGINS, EC_LEFTMARGIN or EC_RIGHTMARGIN, MakeLParam(20, 0));
The MakeLParam needs 2 integer parameters, the first corresponds to the left side and the second corresponds to the right side!
Serves to TEdit too!
