As many people asked me for making rtl or ltr controls on the compactframework.
My best solution for this question is:
public const int GWL_EXSTYLE = (-20);
public const int WS_EX_LAYOUTRTL = 0x400000;
public static void SetControlDirection(Control c, bool p_isRTL)
{
int style = GetWindowLong(c.Handle, GWL_EXSTYLE);
// set default to ltr (clear rtl bit)
style &= ~WS_EX_LAYOUTRTL;
if (p_isRTL == true)
{
// rtl
style = WS_EX_LAYOUTRTL;
}
SetWindowLong(c.Handle, GWL_EXSTYLE, style);
c.Invalidate();
}
[DllImport("coredll.dll")]
static extern int GetWindowLong(IntPtr hWnd, int cmd);
[DllImport("coredll.dll")]
static extern IntPtr SetWindowLong(IntPtr hWnd, int nIndex, int dwNewLong);
CE OS supported:
I tried on "Windows Mobile 6 Classic" emulator and it worked. (CE OS = 5.2)
On "Windows Mobile 5.0 Pocket PC" emulator, also worked. (CE OS = 5.1)
On "Pocket PC 2003 SE" emulator, it did NOT worked! (CE OS = 4.21)
