RtlAttachMirroring

This initialization setting controls how attachment works for widgets, entities, and area frames when running in a right-to-left (RTL) application or form.

Note: This is a compatibility setting that should only be used with existing RTL applications that rely on absolute positioning of the Attach to Window Border(Attach) property, and have been migrated to Uniface 9.7.05 or to Uniface 10.3.02 or later.

RtlAttachMirroring=True | False

Arguments

  • True—objects that are attached to the left or right window frame or split bar, are mirrored.
  • False—objects that are attached to the left or right window frame or split bar, are not mirrored.

Defaults

Default value: True
File Section: [upi]

Description

In an RTL application or form, the normal layout of components is mirrored so the starting point is on the right instead of the left. For attached widgets, entities, and area frames, the attachment is also mirrored.

Thus, if its Attach to Window Border(Attach) property is set to Right, the widget, entity, or area frame is attached to the left in an RTL application.

To prevent attached objects from being mirrored in an RTL application, you can set RtlAttachMirroring to false.

This setting has no effect in left-to-right applications.
