The only "bug" is in how the windows RTL engine handles brackets in relation to english text in an RTL string. Luckily windows reacts properly to the LRM and RLM characters so I was able to work around the issue.]]> Wed, 06 Apr 2005 18:04:22 +0000 http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=2022&PID=6139&title=right-to-left-bug#6139 <![CDATA[Right to Left bug : I think it is bug of english systems....]]> http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=2022&PID=6104&title=right-to-left-bug#6104 Author: Oleg

I ended up fixing this one by adding an RTM character (unicode character 200f) before the first "(" which seems to fix the problem. It leaves the combobox with a "?" character in it on english systems, but works fine on a full arabic windows.]]> Thu, 31 Mar 2005 01:30:58 +0000 http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=2022&PID=6022&title=right-to-left-bug#6022 <![CDATA[Right to Left bug : Sorry, I should have thought of...]]> http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=2022&PID=5992&title=right-to-left-bug#5992 Author: Spyder

When running on a system that has the RTL language pack installed, english text with brackets appears incorrectly.

This may just be a weird side effect of BiDi systems, since it also happens in the form caption; but this may also be caused by the way CodeJock appears to recommend enabling RTL support via Windows APIs.

I have attached a copy of the ScribbleMultiLang example, with a few strings hard-coded to english. Load the sample, then select "Arabic" from the language menu.

On a regular Windows system, everything appears fine. But install the language pack, and the problem appears.

To install the language pack (requires the windows CD):
On WinXP:
Control panel -> regional and language options -> languages tab

Under "Supplemental language support", ticking either checkbox will show the problem.


On Win2K:
Control panel -> regional options -> general tab

In the list of languages select Arabic.]]> Thu, 24 Mar 2005 00:23:11 +0000 http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=2022&PID=5919&title=right-to-left-bug#5919
