Globally change EnableBidiText

Question

Hi,

I have a GUI developed in 9.0 which has a significant number of text boxes across many screens.

I really want to implement Arabic, is there a way to globally change all of my text boxes to EnableBidiText = true or must I do each one manually?

 

Thanks

Phil

Hello Phil,

I'm afraid you'll have to change them in every GUI component individually. Following can be helpful for you:

- When you edit a GUI component, you can select all Text views existing inside it and then change their properties at once. First click in Inspector window on the header Type to sort all members according to their type. Then you can select all Text Views. Once the views are selected you can change the property EnableBidiText for all of them with a single operation.

- With the 'Search in the project' operation you can search for all occurences of Text view objects. Please exclude all Mosaic components and the Description attributes when doing this. For example:

Then you have to traverse the search outputs and modify the properties.

I hope it helps you further.

Best regards
