I am writing a plain text editor for an Asian language using unicode character set.
I am using Microsoft Forms 2.0 Object Library as the native controls of Visual Basic do not support unicode character rendering.
I have mapped the keystrokes to the characters according to my requirements, and everything is going fine except one problem.
The controls inside the above library do not support RTL (Right-to-Left) reading. The language I am using is a RTL language and I want my text box to go that way.
Should I call the Windows API to set the RTL reading style bit for my text box? But the controls in the said library do not expose an 'hWnd' property either. Should I look for some other controls?
What should I do?
Please help...
