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?

    As far as I know, there is no way to do this with CreateParams.

    If you have version 9.2, you can use the UltraControlContainerEditor as an EditorComponent of a column, and you can attach an MS TextBox that supports rtl to the UltraControlContainerEditor. I don't know if this will work with CreateParams. If you really want to work hard, you can use CreationFilter to move things in the grid while it is drawing itself.

    I think Infragistics should support rtl and you can help that by creating a feature request.
