Direction

Window property of a form that specifies the reading orientation of the form at runtime. If set to right-to-left, the layout and text orientation are mirrored.

 

Value Representation Description
0 (Default) Use the value defined in the assignment file.
1 Right to Left Text is read from right to left. Use for right-to-left languages such as Hebrew and Arabic.
2 Left to Right Text is read from left to right.

Description

This property overrides the assignment setting $RTL_APPLICATION, if it is present.

It is not possible to set this property in ProcScript.

Tip: If you want to set the direction of a specific field, specify RTL or LTR code in the Field Layout.

If Direction is set to Right to Left, this is applied even when running on a left-to-right Windows system. Similarly, if Direction is Left to Right, the form or field will read from left to right on a right-to-left system.
