ReadingOrder Property
Language-specific information
You can use the ReadingOrder property to specify or determine the reading order of words in text.
Setting
The ReadingOrder property uses the following settings.
| Setting | Visual Basic | Description |
| Context | 0 | Reading order is determined by the language of the first character entered. If a right-to-left language character is entered first, reading order is right to left. If a left-to-right language character is entered first, reading order is left to right. |
| Left-to-Right | 1 | Sets the reading order to left to right. |
| Right-to-Left | 2 | Sets the reading order to right to left. |
You can set this property by using the property sheet or Visual Basic.
Remarks
In a combo box or list box, the ReadingOrder property determines reading order behavior for both the text box and list box components of the control.
