Hi .

Can anyone help me to remove WS_EX_LAYOUTRTL from an editcontrol dynamically at runtime?

I have an editcontrol in my mfc dialog from that can change it's layouts to RTL(right to left mirror ) at run time but tired to remove this ExStyle and return it to LTR layout . . .

here is the code :

if(isRTL)

{

GetDlgItem(IDC_ENFA_TEXT)->ModifyStyleEx(0,WS_EX_LAYOUTRTL);

GetDlgItem(IDC_ENFA_TEXT)->SetFocus();

}

else

{

GetDlgItem(IDC_ENFA_TEXT)->ModifyStyleEx(WS_EX_LAYOUTRTL,0);

//GetDlgItem(IDC_ENFA_TEXT)->ModifyStyleEx(WS_EX_LAYOUTRTL,0,SWP_FRAMECHANGED);

//RedrawWindow(NULL,NULL,RDW_INVALIDATE | RDW_UPDATENOW |RDW_ERASE|RDW_ALLCHILDREN);

GetDlgItem(IDC_ENFA_TEXT)->SetFocus();

}

UpdateWindow();

Hi,

Never add WS_EX_LAYOUTRTL for edit control - it doesn't support it.

Use these flags :

WS_EX_RIGHT | WS_EX_LEFTSCROLLBAR | WS_EX_RTLREADING
