具有字母和数字的TextBox RTL

Question

I set the TextBox.RightToLeft property to Yes .
When I'm entering this text: "a 32" the string that is stored is "32 a". the order of entering the text is: first 3 2 then Space and then a .

How can I have the value stored as entered?

Answer 1

MSDN:

If the value of the RightToLeft property is changed at run time, only raw text without formatting is preserved.

You will have to reverse its order yourself:

string[] text = textBox1.Text.Split(new char[]{' '}, StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries); //get string while preserving the words
Array.Reverse(text); //reverse the order of words (not their chars)
string finalValue = string.Join(" ", text); //make the string out of array

Answer 2

Try this:

Set your TextBox Property RightToLeft = NO and use TextAlign = Right.

Answer 3

OP: How can I have the value stored as entered?

The string will be stored exactly in the same order you entered characters regardless of display settings of TextBox .

If you enter 3 2 Space a then your values will be stored in the same order and the value of Text property of TextBox will be 32 a while it will be displayed different based on RightToLeft and TextAlign property.

Here is the result of entering the text in the order: 3 2 Space a . Choose your desired setting, store the string and then show it again in a TextBox with the same settings.
