Namespace:   Microsoft.VisualBasic.PowerPacks.Printing.Compatibility.VB6
Assembly:  Microsoft.VisualBasic.PowerPacks.Vs (in Microsoft.VisualBasic.PowerPacks.Vs.dll)

Syntax

public bool RightToLeft { get; set; }

    bool get();
    void set(bool value);
}

member RightToLeft : bool with get, set

Public Property RightToLeft As Boolean

Property Value

Type: System.Boolean

Returns a Boolean.

Remarks

When the return value is true, the Printer object is running on a right-to-left operating system, such as Arabic Windows or Hebrew Windows. Text is running from right to left.

When the return value is false, the Printer object is running on a left-to-right operating system, such as English Windows, and text is running from left to right. If the container does not implement this ambient property, this is the default value.

Note

Functions and objects in the Microsoft.VisualBasic.PowerPacks.Printing.Compatibility.VB6 namespace are provided for use by the tools for upgrading from Visual Basic 6.0 to Visual Basic. In most cases, these functions and objects duplicate functionality that you can find in other namespaces in the .NET Framework. They are necessary only when the Visual Basic 6.0 code model differs significantly from the .NET Framework implementation.

Examples

The following example demonstrates how to retrieve the RightToLeft property value.

Dim Printer As New Printer
If Printer.RightToLeft = True Then
    Printer.Print("Printing from right to left.")
Else
    Printer.Print("Printing from left to right.")
End If
Printer.EndDoc()
