Specifies a value indicating whether the text appears from right to left, such as when using Hebrew or Arabic fonts.

Header

#include <xtd/forms/right_to_left>

Namespace

xtd::forms

Library

xtd.forms

Remarks

This enumeration is used by xtd::forms::context_menu, xtd::forms::main_menu, xtd::forms::progress_bar, and xtd::forms::control.

When you retrieve the value of the RightToLeft property from xtd::forms::context_menu, xtd::forms::main_menu, and xtd::forms::progress_bar you will get the value of xtd::forms::right_to_left you assigned. In contrast, if you are deriving your own class from xtd::forms::control, and you assign a value of Inherit to the xtd::forms::control::right_to_left property, the value returned will be the setting of the xtd::forms::control::right_to_left property of the parent control. If there is no parent control, it will return a value of xtd::forms::right_to_left::no. Otherwise, it will return a value of xtd::forms::right_to_left::yes or xtd::forms::right_to_left::no, depending on the value that you assigned to the xtd::forms::control::right_to_left property of your derived class.
