Support for Right-To-Left Languages

• Dec 28, 2020

Certain languages, such as Hebrew and Arabic, use a right-to-left (RTL) writing system that requires a mirrored UI layout and a reversed text direction.

To use RTL display mode in an application or control, assign bdRightToLeft to the application’s BiDiMode property or the control’s BiDiMode property. Use the ParentBiDiMode property to specify if the control uses its parent’s display mode.

The following DevExpress VCL products support right-to-left localization:

• ExpressBars Suite (except for the following bar items: TdxBarLookupCombo, TdxBarColorCombo, TdxBarFontNameCombo, TdxBarDateCombo, TdxBarTreeViewCombo, TdxBarImageCombo, TdxBarSpinEdit, TdxBarControlContainerItem, and TdxBarProgressItem)

• ExpressEditors Library (except for the TcxSplitter and TdxActivityIndicator controls)

• ExpressLayoutControl Suite

• ExpressScheduler Suite

• ExpressSkins Library (using any textured skins in high DPI environments may result in texture blurring)
