Experts Experience Required: Direction In 10g

Question

Dear all,
We are buildinig an application which will support two languages ( arabic & english).
so we want to change the direction of the form depending on the user choise.
i am using set_form_property to left_to_right & right_to_left
and its not working.but when i set the form property at the design time to direction :right_to_left or left_to_right it works perfect.
but when i use set_form_property at the run time. it runs but it does not change the items direction.
best regards,
shooosh

hi all..i try that before an as i think that is the code you need ,(p_lang) is the parameter to indicate that the form now is arabic or english:
SET_WINDOW_PROPERTY(FORMS_MDI_WINDOW,TITLE,X_SYS_NAME);
          SET_WINDOW_PROPERTY('WINDOW1',TITLE,WIND_NAM);
IF P_LANG = 0 then
SET_FORM_PROPERTY( P_FORM_ID,DIRECTION,RIGHT_TO_LEFT );
SET_WINDOW_PROPERTY(FORMS_MDI_WINDOW,DIRECTION,RIGHT_TO_LEFT);
SET_WINDOW_PROPERTY     ('WINDOW1',DIRECTION,RIGHT_TO_LEFT );
ELSE
SET_FORM_PROPERTY ( P_FORM_ID,DIRECTION,LEFT_TO_RIGHT );
SET_WINDOW_PROPERTY(FORMS_MDI_WINDOW,DIRECTION,LEFT_TO_RIGHT);
SET_WINDOW_PROPERTY ( 'WINDOW1',DIRECTION,LEFT_TO_RIGHT );
END IF;
plaese try it ...it will work properly
