Settings

The possible boolean return values from the RightToLeft property are:

Setting Description
True The control is running on a bi-directional platform, such as Arabic Windows95 or Hebrew Windows95, and text is running from right to left. The control should modify its behavior, such as putting vertical scroll bars at the left side of a text or list box, putting labels to the right of text boxes, etc.
False The control should act as though it was running on a non-bidirectional platform, such as English Windows95, and text is running from left to right. If the container does not implement this ambient property, this will be the default value.
