Property Value

Type	Description
SectionLineNumbering

A SectionLineNumbering class instance representing parameters specific to line numbering.

Example

Set the RichEditView.AllowDisplayLineNumbers option for the current view to true and specify the SectionLineNumbering.CountBy property to any value other than 0 to enable Line Numbering.

In SimpleView and DraftView view line numbers are outside the default visible area, so you have to provide a space to display them. Use the SimpleView.Padding or the DraftView.Padding property to set the left padding to a higher value.

The line numbering font face and font color are specified by the Line Number character style.
