THintWindow.BiDiMode property
Indicates whether text controls use in bi-directional reading.
Declaration
property BiDiMode:;Description
In "normal" reading mode (left-to-right, LTR) text entry starts at the left, text is almost left justified, and vertical scrollbars sit at the right side of the control.
In right-to-left mode text entry starts at the right, text is almost right justified, and vertical scrollbars sit at the left side of the control.
In a bidirectional environment these different placements and adjustments can be configured (swapped) in various (but not all) ways.
(Allows RTL languages such as Arabic and Hebrew to be used)
Wild guess: The default mode is established by the platform, RTL reading is not supported on all (Windows) platforms.
This description is the one of Controls.TControl.BiDiMode.
