Right-to-left text support

Xojo primarily uses native controls when building your apps. Because of this, with a few noted exceptions, right-to-left text support is supported for desktop, mobile and web without you having to do anything special.

The exceptions for desktop apps are DesktopBevelButton and DesktopListBox. For DesktopListBox you would use the CellBackgroundPaint event handler to draw your text appropriately. The exception for web apps is WebListBox. Use WebListBoxStyleRenderer when you need right-to-left text support for a WebListBox.

Right-to-left layout changes are not automatically supported by Xojo. However, you can use the Container to contain sections of your layouts and put code in the Container to manually adjust the layout as necessary.
