in the HTML tags there is a property called dir which should be "ltr" or "rtl".
this is so important when using languages like "Arabic" or "Hebrew".
Note: Right-To-Left is completely different that align to right . this is a (bi-di) option that is available in java.
You know most of the Arab countries are using Arabic language in all application, so for my customers here this is considered as an "Issue", thats why I am gonna classify it as issue not a feature request.
How ever, it is still a low priority issue for me here, but I don't want any complaints from any customer here, plus this means that Arabic language is NOT 100% supported, so this will lead some clients to refuse Servoy (Unfortunately).
I think this could help fixing this, and i hope it will be included in Servoy 4.
When using JTextField Bean, I could write the following:
- Code: Select all
elements.bean_536.componentOrientation = Packages.java.awt.ComponentOrientation.RIGHT_TO_LEFT;
Which worked like charm, but I am not going to use beans.
I played in the CSS to make it 'rtl' but it never worked with me ...
however, this will be great if you add it to the field properties list, and the value is being read fro i18n messages table.
Ticket #66044 was opened with the support, but I got no response from a long long time, thats why I have decided to list it here.
