PaperWidth – PB Docs 2019

Applies to

RichTextEdit

Description

Sets the value for the display width of pages inside the
control.

Usage

By default, the value you set for display width is multiplied by
1/1000 of an inch. An application user can change the display units at
runtime when you enable the PopMenu property of the RichTextEdit control.
This allows the application user to bring up the Rich Text Object dialog
box and change the current units to 1/1000 of a centimeter. If the user
switches the current units to centimeters, the values you set for
PaperHeight and PaperWidth are multiplied by 2.54.

By default, the value you set for PaperWidth is used for printing as
well as for screen display. When you set this value or the PaperHeight
value, the default value in the Size drop-down list on the Print
Specifications page of the Rich Text Object dialog box changes to
Customized. Application users can modify the print specifications from the
Rich Text Object dialog box at runtime, but only if you set the PopMenu
property of the rich text object to true.

In scripts

The PaperWidth property takes a long value.
