Known Issues for the FlowDirection Property

After initially enabling print preview, dragging a horizontal scroll bar to the right in a DataWindow with a RightToLeft flow direction causes the DataWindow to move incorrectly to the right.

Workaround: Disable Print Preview mode, then reenable it before using the horizontal scroll bar.

For a RadioButton column that shows more than one radio button on a single line, each radio button label appears next to the radio button control it identifies. However, when you print this type of RadioButton column in a RightToLeft DataWindow, or save the DataWindow to a PDF or XPS file, the radio button labels appear together, rather than next to the controls that they identify. This also occurs in Print Preview mode.

Setting the flow direction on an Application object to RightToLeft does not change the direction of the print output for a DataStore object.

If you set a RichText DataWindow flow direction to RightToLeft at runtime, then enable Print Preview mode before printing the DataWindow, the DataWindow prints with a left-to-right layout, and subsequently appears on screen with a left-to-right layout.

You cannot view RichText columns in Print Preview mode if the flow direction for the DataWindow containing the columns is RightToLeft.

When you preview a window in an application that has a right-to-left flow direction set on the Application object, but not on the window being previewed, the preview does not show the window with the right-to-left flow direction. For the preview to work correctly, you must also set the flow direction on the window you want to preview.
