There was a special version of VFP 5.0 for hebrew which reacted to the RightToLeft property - in all other versions it just ignored it.
In VFP 6.0 there will be no need for a special version and it works for all RTL languages (Arabic, Hebrew) with a properly localised version of windows.


The data is stored LeftToRight and displayed RightToLeft for Hebrew and Arabic , by context (meaning windows decides if such and such data is RTL orLTR).
This brings about some annoying bugs, which no one seems to be in a hurry to fix.

Good Luck,


Eylon
