  BOOL SetTabStops( int nTabStops, LPINT rgTabStops );
  void SetTabStops();
  BOOL SetTabStops( int cxEachStop );
 
  Parameter    Description
 
  <nTabStops>  Specifies the number of tab stops contained in
               <rgTabStops>. If this parameter is greater then 1, then
               <rgTabStops> points to an array of tab stops.
 
  <rgTabStops> Points to an array of unsigned integers specifying the tab
               stops in dialog units. If <nTabStops> is 1, this parameter
               points to an unsigned integer containing the distance
               between all tab stops (in dialog units).
 
  <cxEachStop> Specifies that tab stops are to be set at every
               <cxEachStop> dialog units.
 
  Remarks
 
  Sets the tab stops in a multiple-line edit control. When text is copied
  to a multiple-line edit control, any tab character in the text will
  cause space to be generated up to the next tab stop.
 
  If <nTabStops> is 0, <rgTabStops> is ignored and default tab stops are
  set at every 32 dialog units.
 
  This member function is only processed by multiple-line edit controls.
 
  SetTabStops does not automatically redraw the edit window. If the
  application is changing the tab stops for text already in the edit
  control, it needs to call ◄CWnd::InvalidateRect► to redraw the edit
  window.
 
  Return Value
 
  TRUE if the tabs were set; otherwise FALSE.
