@vfclists. I agree with what you said. I have the knowledge about the requirements of RightToLeft applications, but I don't have the programming skills to make it happen. My suspicion is that the great majority of Lazarus/FPC users are not proficient enough to dig down into the low level code and figure out how to fix problems. I know for fact that I am not. That doesn't keep me from trying though. I've been looking for that TWinControl Canvas bug for 2 years and I'm no closer today than the day I started.
But Mirroring technology is the simplest and most straightforward approach to RightToLeft on the MSWindows platform. For the most part it already works, but only if you disable Themes. That's a price most programmer feel they can't pay. On Wed, Dec 4, 2013 at 10:31 PM, Avishai <avishai.g...@gmail.com> wrote: > The guys that started Lazarus had a base to start from.
