Hi agian...thanks for you great support.... i need to write something in Persian in a textbox (persian language is written from right-to-left). Now, there is a Times-New-Roman font that has 'arabic' in it. I can use it fine, but, my problem is when i run the program (making it .exe) on another computer, the words come from left-to-right, so it doesnt make sense...how can i get it back? I played with the VB options, and came across the right-to-left option, but, I cant change it to 'true'.... thanks for your help in advance |

It seems the RightToLeft property is operational only in "a bidirectional 32-bit Microsoft Windows environment, such as Arabic Microsoft Windows 95". Of course, you could change the Alignment to "Right Justify" simulate Right-to-Left behaviour by changing how the characters are added to the text box in the KeyPress event, for example:
...That should do it. I think the Backspace/Delete keys are reversed, though. |
