Use this function set the Indent property of a text box.

Comments
The Indent property can only be set by using this function from the OnFormat trigger of the text box - it cannot be set from the property sheet.

The intended use is to provide some means of structuring information in a tabular form by indenting the contents of a text box, based on some notion of a hierarchy. See also the UPDATEFORECOLOR and UPDATEFONTBOLD functions which are meant to be used for similar purposes.

Example
You can use this function to indent a text box in a tabular form according to the value in some other field this:

CurrForm.Name.UPDATEINDENT(Level * 220);

The Level field is supposed to contain integer values from 0 and upwards. The higher this value is, the more indentation will be added to text box that displays the contents of the Name field.
