LineSpacingStyle Property (ActiveX)

Specifies the line spacing style for the MText object.

Supported platforms: Windows only

Signature

VBA:

object.LineSpacingStyle

object

Type: GeoPositionMarker, MText

The object this property applies to.

Property Value

Read-only: No

Type: acLineSpacingStyle enum

• acLineSpacingStyleAtLeast
• acLineSpacingStyleExactly

Remarks

The acLineSpacingStyleAtLeast setting allows the spacing between different lines of text to adjust automatically, based on the height of the largest character in a line of text. The acLineSpacingStyleExactly setting forces the line spacing to be the same size for all the lines in the MText object regardless of formatting overrides.

Examples

VBA:

Sub Example_LineSpacingFactor()
    ' This example creates an MText object in model space
    ' and then finds the LineSpacingFactor for the object.
    
    Dim MTextObj As AcadMText
    Dim corner(0 To 2) As Double
    Dim width As Double
    Dim text As String
    corner(0) = 0#: corner(1) = 10#: corner(2) = 0#
    width = 10
    text = "This is the text String for the mtext Object"

    ' Creates the MText Object
    Set MTextObj = ThisDrawing.ModelSpace.AddMText(corner, width, text)
    ZoomAll
    
    ' Find the current LineSpacingFactor
    Dim currFactor As Double
    currFactor = MTextObj.LineSpacingFactor
    MsgBox "The LineSpacingFactor for the MText object is: " & currFactor
    
    ' Change the LineSpacingFactor
    MTextObj.LineSpacingFactor = 4
    MsgBox "The LineSpacingFactor for the MText object is: " & MTextObj.LineSpacingFactor
    
    ' Reset the LineSpacingFactor
    MTextObj.LineSpacingFactor = currFactor
    MsgBox "The LineSpacingFactor for the MText object is: " & MTextObj.LineSpacingFactor
    
End Sub
