Topic: Right To Lefty Languages

I need to do a HEBREW based database .
Hebrew writes from right to left .

The fields like EDIT and MEMO do not offer right  justification , hebrew needs right justification.

What can be done ?

May I offer that this small improvement will be added to propertis of all relevat objects ?

I beleive it is your  intrest as well , and it will bring you more market to VD as well .

Thanks
Elico

Re: Right To Lefty Languages

Using script you can to enable property BiDiMode

Use BiDiMode to enable the control to adjust its appearance and behavior automatically when the application runs in a locale that reads from right to left instead of left to right. The bidirectional mode controls the reading order for the text, the placement of the vertical scroll bar, and whether the alignment is changed.

How exactly I do that ?

BiDiMode does not appear in any property if I am not wrong.

Re: Right To Lefty Languages

Yes I understand .
But this is good for runtime only .

I suggst adding RighToleft option at design time to all controls properties as well.

also it will be a good idea to add "SEARCH" option to the forum .

Bidi is implemented via scripts but actually I doubt it is working properly since it only initiate a left to right writing aligned to the far right: when typing abcdefgh, it should write hgfedcba. Am I wrong?

It's works properly only for regional Windows like Arabic, Hebrew and so on...
