Script UI - EditText

Hi friend,

I have a script with "EditText" inside, and I want to change

the writing direction (of the default) - from left to right to right-to-left.

I can do this manually (by right-clicking on "edittext"),

but I wonder if it is possible to do this with exstenScript code?

Hi yon1313 ,

is your second screenshot really showing RTL with text direction?

Seems to me just like Alignment Right.

Regards,
Uwe

Currently no idea.

Sorry.

To make that happen an edittext field should have a property such as "language" that would react on input in Hebrew or Arabic.

Never did tests in this direction.

Uwe
