localization to arabic

rbuser

Hi,

I am developing an english/arabic application

i am working now on translating resource files to arabic
using rbStringTranslator

noting that i am using multilizer.i need to know the following :
1-when the user changes the layout to arabic how to
change the bidi of your screens and messages to
right to left
2-how to flip my reports to right to left

any other suggestions will be appreciated

thank you

ReportBuilder assumes a left to right generation. I think the wordwrapping
will work, but you'll need to rearrange the text manually after it wraps the
lines.

RB's native output is draw commands on page objects. You can fully
customize the draw commands on each page. You can use the
OnDrawCommandCreate event of each text control to put all of the memo
controls for a page in a TList. Then use the Report.OnEndPage event to
rearrange the text in the draw commands to display from right to left.

Cheers,
