Returns or sets a boolean value that indicates menu display direction and controls the visual appearance on a bidirectional system.

 

Syntax

object.RightToLeft[=boolean]

 

The RightToLeft property syntax has these parts:

Part Description
Object An object expression that evaluates to VLMenuPlus
Boolean A Boolean expression that specifies the menu drawing direction

Setting

The settings for boolean are:

Setting Description
True (Default) Enables display of menu from right to left as in Arabic Windows or Hebrew Windows.

The whole menu will be shifted to the right end of the menu owner window. Bitmap will be displayed to the right of menu caption.

False Disables right to left display of menu.

Remark

The RightToLeft property has been addded to VLMenuPlus to provide an easy mechanism for creating menus with Middle East characteristics such as:

  • RTL visual direction
  • RTL reading order

 

Note

Due to a bug in the Windows 98 and Windows NT systems (search for bug ID: Q253308 MSDN) even when using RightToLeft menus, the submenus continue to cascade from left to right instead of right to left.
