WinGrid support for RightToLeft Languages
posted

I'm developing an Application that is targeted for the Arabic language.

When using a standard GridView to get the grid to display in a right to left fashion you need to mirror the control.  The code to do this looks like this:

protected override CreateParams CreateParams
        {
            get
            {
                CreateParams CP;
                CP = base.CreateParams;
                if(_mirrored)
                    CP.ExStyle = CP.ExStyle | WS_EX_LAYOUTRTL | WS_EX_NOINHERITLAYOUT;
                return CP;
            }
        }

This works perfectly with the GridView, However with the WinGrid the text is painted in reverse as if it was flipped.

 

Is there a way to override this behavior and get it to paint correctly?
