RightToLeft (Property)

In french: DroiteAGauche

The RightToLeft property is used to get the actual writing direction on a control, column, window or report.

The writing direction can be modified by the TextDirection property. If the writing direction in the control is the same direction defined in the project options, the TextDirection property returns the tdDefault constant. In this case, the RightToLeft property is used to get the actual writing direction

This property applies to:

A window or the controls of a window (except for: Subscripted control, Web Camera control, Splitter, Calendar and Organizer).
A report or the following report controls:
- Static control,
- Calculated control,
- RTF text control,
- Preset control,
- Link and Edit control,
- Chart control.

Caution: This property is available for reports only.

Example

// The writing direction used in the column is the default direction
TABLE_Table1.COL_Column2.TextDirection = tdDefault
// Find the default writing direction
IF TABLE_Table1.COL_Column2.RightToLeft = True THEN
EDT_Edit1.TextDirection = tdRightToLeft
END
