Hi;

I have been trying to use SWT to make an Arabic GUI interface for some project 
I'm working on now. the problem I have is:

The Text class works fine with Arabic, I can enter Arabic text by pressing the 
Alt+Shit, and I can change the direction with Ctrl+Shif. now, I can't 
programmatically start the text field with the right alignment, I used the 
style SWT.RIGHT, it did not work, and I've been told that it should work, but 
it would jump to the start of the line everytime I press a space, now I have 
been told too that there is a Sytle that I should suggest that make the Text 
field starts with the right alignment as the real text field show.

My system is XP with Arabic Enabled, and as I said before I can convert the 
text field by pressing the above 2 key compination, but there should be a way 
to make it start from right, this is important for all BIDI Application.

My request is "RTL text alignment/orientation, not RTL text input."

I'm using XP and that last stable eclipse build GM6.

Regards, Ali
