RightToLeft Property

Description

Gets or sets a value specifying whether the writing direction is right-to-left at the current input position. If text is selected, the property specifies this attribute for the whole selected text.

Syntax

public bool? RightToLeft { get; set; }

Public Property RightToLeft As Boolean?

Examples

The following XAML example binds the RightToLeft property to a ToggleButton:

<ToggleButton 
    Height="29"
    Name="buttonRightToLeft"
    IsChecked="{Binding ElementName=textControl1, Path=InputFormat.RightToLeft, Mode=TwoWay}">
    Right to Left</ToggleButton>

The following example changes the formatting applied to text entered at the end of a document by using InputFormat.RightToLeft.

textControl.Text = "Project summary";
textControl.InputPosition = new InputPosition(textControl.Text.Length);
InputFormat inputFormat = textControl.InputFormat;

inputFormat.RightToLeft = true;
if (inputFormat.RightToLeft != null)
{
    Console.WriteLine("Input Format: Right To Left is available.");
}

textControl.Text = "Project summary"
textControl.InputPosition = New InputPosition(textControl.Text.Length)
Dim inputFormat As InputFormat = textControl.InputFormat

inputFormat.RightToLeft = True
If inputFormat.RightToLeft IsNot Nothing Then
    Console.WriteLine("Input Format: Right To Left is available.")
End If

Remarks

The property returns null, if the text selection contains multiple paragraphs with mixed setting.
