Hiii

How to alignment the text on a textbox based on the characters entered to it , if English use left alignment if Arabic use right alignment?

 

[Gasman]

Test for English alphabetic character as first character.?

 

[Falcon88]

No , i use that text box to enter arabic and english words .

If the word is English the alignment must be left , if arabic it must be right alignment .

i use that text box to enter arabic and english words .

Unless you mean Arabic or English words, provide an example of what you mean - if you have a sentence with a mix of English and Arabic words - how do you decide?

Do you mean one user is using Arabic and another English?
Or the same user uses both on different occasions?

 

[Falcon88]

I mean some records that text box contains arabic words that read from right , while others in English words that read from left .

you can switch language by using Alt-Shift on your keyboard.
you can see the Language bar on your Taskbar (right-most), if it changes.
now when you type, you just type it normally.

example:
(Alt-Shift) to select English
[type the english word (space) (Alt-Shift select Arabic) type the arabic word (space) (Alt-shift select English) type another english word], etc...
the orientation of the word depends on which languages was chosen before you typed the word.

Unless you are not telling us something, the problem should be quite simple. It doesn't matter that you have Arabic or English words. It matters that they are presented in the correct font. You haven't told us enough to make it clear how you intend to discover the correct font.

If you have an ordinary Access text box, the font and reading order are not generally automatic but you can manually set both easily enough. If your problem is that the words in the box SHOULD be shown in an English font or SHOULD be shown in an Arabic font then you have to test the words so YOU can set the font and direction. You would adjust the text box properties .ReadingOrder and .Fontname based on how you want the text displayed.

If instead you have a form of "rich text" feeding the text box then you have to have an indicator in the text box data (.Value or .Text depending on what has focus at the moment) that identifies the selected font. If so, you would have to parse the text to see if you could find the font setting and make your decision accordingly.

If you are using a form of Unicode that contains both Arabic and English characters, you can test the characters because the codes for those two languages do not overlap. The difference between Arabic and English text codes would differ widely enough to be easy to test. But in that case, you would not have to adjust the font (because it is a Unicode font, assuming you could find what you wanted). You would only have to play with reading order.

Also note that there is a setting for the textbox.ReadingOrder property (=0) that if you WERE using detectable Arabic or English characters, it might be able to tell the difference and automatically set the direction for you based on the first character in the box.

Mixture

So not a mixture in the control, either English OR Arabic. So why have you not tried what has already been suggested?
