Farsi and Arabic

[Saed Modarresi]

Hi
Why in Textboxes in Farsi language, cursor move incorrect direction,
in "Regional and Languages Options" from "Control panel" we select our Own
as "Farsi" and country as "Iran" and installed Right-to-Left languages.
In forms we set "Right to Left" as .T. (and Textbox Right to Left Property).
so we cant type correct but when we want to edit a string, THE CURSOR MOVE
INCORRECT!
in Oracle we see this mistake but for it we must set "Regional and Languages
Options" from "Control panel" we select our Own as "Arabic (U.A.E.)"!!!!
for more information you can type a string in Textbox or EditBox and then
from Middle of it, select and mark some characters with pressing Shift+Left
Arrow

Often, this behavior (right-to-left) is a result of
settings made in the IE browser, not in the Regional
Settings. Try right-clicking the page, click "Encoding",
then "More", and select the "Arabic(???)" item that works
for you.

Since I have not tried this, it's also possible that your
setting in Encoding needs "AutoSelect" or even might need
the normal default of "Westent European(Windows)"

I suggest trying several of those options to see if it
helps

Thank you but I am not in a web page, I am in a form in VFP (Visual Foxpro).
This mistake is in VFP forms but it is not in VB forms.
