export to pdf/rtf/jpeg :: right to left document direction

Houssam Hamdan · Post by **Houssam Hamdan** » Fri Sep 17, 2010 2:52 am

Hello,

We would like to know if it is possible to flip the generated pdf/rtf/jpeg documents' direction right to left.

The required behavior is successfully done through the following line of code with Excel:
StiOptions.Export.Excel.ColumnsRightToLeft = True

Thank you in advance for your prompt reply.

Cheers

Hi Andrew,

Thank you for the document. Unfortunately, it did not meet our requirements.

Is there a container component that displays its child elements from right to left and vice-versa?

We would like to know if we can use the same .mrt file for the arabic and english language.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Hello,

Unfortunately, there is no simle solution for this problem.
As a workaround, you may add script in the BeginRender event that will set the required values for all components of a report.

Thank you.

While playing with the StiText object properties in the designer, i found out that the required behavior is achieved as follows:

1- StiText.TextOptions.RightToLeft = True;

2- StiText.DockStyle = StiDockStyle.Right;

The Text fields columns would flip as required if they belong to the same Header Band.

Cheers,
