The RightToLeft property is only valid for certain languages such as Hebrew and Arabic (IOW, those language versions of Windows).
For non-bidirectional language versions of Windows, you can't change this property. And even then, I think you only just read this
property so you know how to setup your controls.

As I said, I'm pretty sure the property is read-only. It's for informational
purposes only. At design-time, it might just always revert to False (unsure
because I've never used anything but an English version of Windows). What
value does the property return during runtime?
Hmm...anyone know if by using a virtual machine (specifically, Microsoft
Virtual PC 2007), can you install a non-English version of Windows on that?
For example, if I wanted to go to the trouble of investigating this, could I
created a new VPC and install the Hebrew-language version of Windows? I don’t
know Hebrew, but maybe I could muddle my way through it.

Rather than installing one localized version of the OS, install MUI. This
gives you all languages so you only have one VM to deal with. I don't think
it's a free download. It requires that you install the English version of OS
first. To switch between languages, use the control panel applet and
restart.
