the cursor in rich text edit doesn't move with char i type?

[ahmed_tawfik]

for richtext column field in datawindow

when i typing with English the cursor always is at the position where i type

but in Arabic(right to left language)

the cursor is always fixed at 1st right  position make confusion to user who is typing ??

for exemple when i type hello after typing "o" i get ( | symbolise my cursor ) hello|

as shown the cursor is after char. "o"

but in Arabic when I type some chars the cursor is still at first char.

as shown | is at first char i wrote not at last one??

Hi Ahmed;

  The RichText Control and RichText DataWindow actually uses a 3rd party control - TX Text Control component from http://www.textcontrol.com. The control as embedded in PB is a subset of the full control from Text Control systems. AFAIK, the basic control in the RT Control and DW does not support right to left processing. I am not sure even if the full version support right to left as the only languages the control seems to support are English & German (from what I can see).
