LabVIEW app on OS with Right to Left writing

[Andrey_Dmitriev]

Colleagues,

Just curious - is it possible to "localize" LabVIEW application to "Right to Left" OS (Arabic, for example)?:

as you can see - minimize/maximize/close buttons and the Title are "swapped" on such OS.

Also menu bar should be on the right side.

Is it possible to get such "look and feel" for LabVIEW-based app (without huge work with building own buttons etc)?

I never noticed that the direction of LV windows is reversed, but that's probably because I work on an English OS and we mandate the same for most of the systems we deploy. I expect that Windows allows apps to override the system default when creating windows and that this is what LV does. I don't know if there are API calls which would allow you to modify that and I wouldn't recommend calling them even if they do exist.

In any case, if I were you I would be worried less about that and more about how the text is going to look when it has non-RTL content in it and what to do if you want to let users enter their own text. In my experience that's the real problem.
