User's Guide
The following steps will guide you through a simple scenario to develop a
skeleton Bidi-enabled application consisting of one Bidi panel containing two
text fields with different Bidi attributes:
- Go to the Composition Editor, and drop a Window on the free form
surface.
- Double-click on the Window to display its Properties window.
- Click on the ... button adjacent to the
bidiSpec entry to edit the default bidiSpec
values.
- Change the widgetOrientation value to RightToLeft.
- Save the new bidiSpec, and exit the Properties window.
- Drop two radio button sets on the window.
- View the bidiSpec of the first radio button set. You
will notice that its widgetOrientation is RightToLeft, inherited
from the parent Window. Thus, text appears to the left of the radio
buttons. Make sure not to save the bidiSpec entry while
exiting the Properties window to maintain the inheritance link.
- Edit the bidiSpec of the second radio button set, and change
its widgetOrientation to be LeftToRight. The text now
appears to the right of the radio buttons.
