Interesting question. Here's the result of a quick search:

1. There is reference in Microsoft's docs to support for right-to-left editing, but I can't find much on how you are meant to implement it. The suggestion is that if you are typing using a right-to-left character set, that the text direction will switch automatically. Might be worth a try.

2. There are also some command identifiers, which are documented as "not implemented", but which do seem to have some effect. For example, try adding this to HtmlEditor.cs:

public bool RtoL()
{
return this.execCommand(ComSupport.IDM_DIRRTL,null,false,true);
}

Now put the HtmlEditor into edit mode in an application and call RtoL. I now find that all text is right-aligned, and while typing is not true right-to-left, the caret does occasionally pop to where it should be for right-to-left typing - but that might be because I'm using a left-to-right character set.

If you work all this out, please document it in the documentation wiki.

hi tim,

thanks , i have done it , but typing is not true right to left.caret postion
does not move with typing.
you told me about left- to- right character set, are you using it ,
anywhere in code. i have installed urdu font ,i think it supports right
to left character set.
i am trying continue to do this,but not getting fruitful result.
Is there regional setting of language plays any role.

I've never needed this so don't know much about it unfortunately. Does right-to-left work in Notepad? In any application?

hi tim,

i have done it completely, now it is working properly.
actully with method calling , we have to also set regional
setting for that language.

i have added ,it's doc. in Documentation wikki.

I'm glad its working OK.

I've moved your notes to a separate page in the wiki.

For this Use one attribute of body tag in Html that start ur text from right side of ur editor.

For this Use one attribute dir="rtl" - Right to left of body tag in Html that start ur text from right side of ur editor. But the main problem will still there that u can not type word from right to left because html does not support this functionality.
