Has anybody successfully made the rev field to be right-to-left one where the scrollbars are on the left side of the field instead of the right.

shadowslash,

I have never seen software that switches the scrollbar to the other side. Why would one want that?

I have been able to make RTL text fields scroll correctly, but you'd have to choose between wrapping and scrolling and it is a hell of a job involving dnyamically resizing fields and groups with scroll bars.

Well for instance, here's an example of notepad doing such:



You can very well see their differences...

I see it on your picture, shadowslash, but not on my own machines. Interesting, I must say.

If you really want to reproduce this yourself in RunRev, you might try to fake it with a separate scrollbar object.

If you're somehow curious how I got to know that such a thing exists, I just right clicked on notepad and saw that and tried it out.



But about making a workaround via another scrollbar control, I don't think I'll have enough time to deal with that as of the project's scope. If I may also ask, what does rev do for languages that require such like the Arabic language, etc?

What exactly do you mean with "what does rev do"? Unicode kind of works, RTL functionality is limited.

Hmm so I guess I'd have no alternative way but to make it self-implemented via a separate scrollbar control....
