Hello everybody, I'm desperately looking for a right-to-left whitespace. I searched the web a lot, but I couldn't find an answer, so I hope that somebody here can help.
I am developing a Delphi application for writing Arabic texts under non-Arabic windows. Inserting the Arabic characters in the edit component works fine. However, there is no whitespace in the Arabic character set, so I'm using the regular one... and this creates a big problem: since this space is left-to-right (unlike Arabic), the text flow is interrupted at every point where I insert it, and words get into the wrong order. For example, if I enter the characters A,B,C,SPACE,D,E,F (assume they were Arabic), I expect the following on the screen: "FED CBA". Instead I get this: "CBA FED". I understand why it comes to this result: obviously the editor component thinks that the Arabic paragraph ends here and appends the latin text "after" (right from) it. But this is of course not what I want, and I suppose there must be a way without reprogramming the whole editor. So... I need a reverse-whitespace, or any other solution. Thanks a lot for your help! Dennis
