RTL support in Windows
Hamed Malek
I am adding Right to Left support to an application (Audacity) in
Windows to be used in RTL languages. It seems using a Windows API
function named SetProcessDefaultLayout does reverse the application
direction but it has no effect on Dialog or Message boxes. MSDN says to
add RTL to dialog boxes, a flag should be added to the Dialog resource
file. but at least in Audacity no such resource file exists.
I saw that wxwidget has something named SetLayoutDirection for setting
layout direction, does this work in Windows too? how can I use it in my
app?
Thanks

There are no special instructions for compiling on Vista; I compiled
wxWidgets OK with VC++ 6 on Vista the last time I tried. See
docs\msw\install.txt. What problems did you have?

Message boxes do get reversed, or at least are supposed to, see
src/msw/msgdlg.cpp (search for "RTL"). Does it work for you in e.g.
internat sample (if you run it in Arabic locale)?
As for the dialogs, they're not different from any other windows in wx so
I'm not sure why you should have problems with them. Or do you mean other
_standard_ dialogs (e.g. file open)?

You should call wxTheApp->SetLayoutDirection(wxLayout_RightToLeft) and RTL
will be used by default in all windows.

This page may help you, http://www.wxwidgets.org/wiki/index.php/Microsoft_Visual_CPP_Guide
You need to configure your setup.h to build wxWidgets, and you can start from setup0.h.
(The simplest way is no change it but just copy&rename from setup0.h)
