Creating an MText with numbered list

By Balaji Ramamoorthy

Here is a sample code to create an MText that has its content set to a numbered list.

[CommandMethod("MTextNumberedList")]

public void CreateMTextNumberedList()

{

    Database db = Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument.Database;

 

    using (Transaction tr = db.TransactionManager.StartTransaction())

    {

        BlockTableRecord ms = tr.GetObject

            (

                SymbolUtilityServices.GetBlockModelSpaceId(db),

                OpenMode.ForWrite

            ) as BlockTableRecord;

 

        MText mText = new MText();

        mText.SetDatabaseDefaults();

 

        String rtfContents = @"{\pntext\f0 1.\tab}First Line\par{\pntext\f0 2.\tab}Second Line\par}";

        mText.SetContentsRtf(rtfContents);

        mText.Location = Point3d.Origin;

 

        ms.AppendEntity(mText);

        tr.AddNewlyCreatedDBObject(mText, true);

 

        tr.Commit();

    }

}
