Hi All,

What is the best way for typing arabic chars in a fld and latin chars in an other fld of the same card

I dream a propertie "CharsPaletteAndKeybord" for a script like that :

Code: Select all

on openfield pCurpaletteChars  --â€¢â€¢ (pCurpaletteChars = arabic or latin)
set the CharsPaletteAndKeybord to pCurpaletteChars
en openfield

regards

Jean-Marc

Hi Jean-Marc,

In theory, Revolution just follows the input method and language that the user has chosen. But if you need a specific language for a specific field, you can set the textFont of that field to something like "Arial,Arabic".

HTH,

Jan Schenkel.

Hi Jean-Marc,

You may also need to find a way to make the text go from right to left ;-) I managed to do this, but is quite a hassle with the obsolete text features of Revolution.

Best,

Mark
