Description
Hebrew and Arabic they are right to left direction languages. You can set thedirection on field layout definition but not dynamically at run time. There are situations that a field can contain information in English or Hebrew simultaneous. Therefore it is necessary that the direction of the field will be change dynamically depending on the content of the field.
Use Case
There are 2 options for solution: 1. Extended the editbox & grid widget features that the field direction will be change dynamically depending on the field content. (As Microsoft done in outlook, excel and others products). 2. Introduce new Uniface proc code.
