Namespace: DevExpress.XtraRichEdit.API.Native

Assembly: DevExpress.RichEdit.v24.1.Core.dll

NuGet Packages: DevExpress.RichEdit.Core, DevExpress.Win.Navigation

Declaration

C#

bool RightToLeft { get; set; }

VB.NET

Property RightToLeft As Boolean

Property Value

Type	Description
Boolean	true, to change the section’s direction; otherwise, false.

Remarks

Use the RightToLeft property to change the direction of a multi-column section.

This property’s value does not affect sections with one column. Specify the Paragraph.RightToLeft property for all section’s paragraphs to change the direction of a regular section.

Specify the TablePropertiesBase.RightToLeftTableLayout or Table.RightToLeft properties to change the table’s direction.

The code sample below divides a section into two columns and specifies the section direction, so the columns appear as follows.

C#

richEditControl.Document.Unit = DevExpress.Office.DocumentUnit.Inch;
Section section = richEditControl.Document.Sections[0];
section.RightToLeft = true;
SectionColumnCollection sectionColumnsLayout =  section.Columns.CreateUniformColumns(section.Page, 0.2f, 2);
// Set different column width.
sectionColumnsLayout[0].Width = 3f;
sectionColumnsLayout[1].Width = 2f;
// Apply layout to the document.
section.Columns.SetColumns(sectionColumnsLayout);

VB.NET

richEditControl.Document.Unit = DevExpress.Office.DocumentUnit.Inch
Dim section As Section = richEditControl.Document.Sections(0)
section.RightToLeft = True
Dim sectionColumnsLayout As SectionColumnCollection = section.Columns.CreateUniformColumns(section.Page, 0.2F, 2)
sectionColumnsLayout(0).Width = 3F
sectionColumnsLayout(1).Width = 2F
section.Columns.SetColumns(sectionColumnsLayout)
