Right to left menu module

in windows2000 and form6i and codepage=ar8mswin1256 (arabic)
i use menu module in my main form ,but my menu cannot be right to left
i change the direction property but doesnot work.
if you know please help me.
thanks.

The ME edition can have an English user interface (or Arabic, Hebrew, French, and maybe others, I dunno).
In your shoes I'd buy World Tools from www.in-tools.com. I actually like Harbs' interface for RTL tools better than Adobe's.
It's possible to fake up Arabic tools in English ID in a variety of ways. Ellis suggests a good one. If you are handy with Javascript, all of the RTL text manipulation tools are available via scripting. If you find the ancient Thomas Phinney blog post from 2008 or thereabouts, when the World-Ready Composer was first introduced, all of those scripts still work.

T40's Left Shift key makes right click/context menu appear?

Hello All-
On my T40, on which I just recently got Windows 7 correctly installed, has a curious behavior:
When I press the left shift key, it functions the same as if I had pressed the right mouse button. It functions correctly otherwise, I.E., when using it to capitolize a letter in an email, the letter is capitolized, but as soon as I let go of the shift key, the right click/context menu immediately appears.
This is exceedingly irritating, as I cannot continue typing until I have navigated out of the menu.
I have checked to see if the Keyboard Customiser utility is causing this, as I currently have my left Alt key functioning as a Windows button, but it does not appear to be causing this particular issue.
Does anyone have any idea how I might go about fixing this?
Thanks in advance,
G
Solved!

Nevermind-
Had the keyboard customizer set to use the left shfit key as the application key. Duh.

Move a table to right or left when in the drop down tab menu

How do you move a table to right or left when you have many tabs and the tabl you want to move is in the drop down tab menu at the right....?

This forum is a joke.

Navigate menu does not function from right to left direction

My navigate bars work fine from left to right, but when you go the opposite way (right to left direction) or not in sequential order, the current page on the screen remains.
I have to click on the upper left arrow in Safari to make the navigation work from the right to leftward direction. I would also like the user to be able to click on any navigation bar out of sequence.
This is a very simple site with only 3 static pages.

I suspect that there is something on your Links page in iWeb which is overlapping the navigation bar and preventing the menu items from working.

Opening Videos from Left Menu Requires Right Click

I have multiple Windows 7 computers with iTunes installed. I have noticed that whan trying to open videos from the left menu, the only way to get it working is to wight click on the mouse, left clicking does not work. Does anyone know anything about this and how to resolve it?

I encountered the same problem. A quicker workaround then restarting firefox is to just minimize and maximize. Don't know why but that works.

Selected state issue with Menu Module V2

OK so I am getting an issue with Menu Module V2. I have used this before with success but this time I have hit a wall. I possed this question to BC live chat and they bugged out real quick.
The site in construction is http://www.urbanista.com.au
What is happening is that in the top right tools nav with the headings Home, Services, People, Contact Us using Menu Module V2. The Heading Services has a drop down and this is where the issue resides. Roll over any of these nav devices and you will see they will highlight orange. Home is already auto activating its Selcted state. Click on Contact Us and it will do the same. Roll over and click on Services and it appears to have worked. While in Services roll over the drop down again and you will see all links have activated the Selected state. This is the issue. If you view the code of the Services UL you will see only the Services state has been alocated the Slected state. See below:
<li id="Services" class="selected">
<a href="/services.htm">Services</a>
<ul>
<li id="tools-panningdev">
<li id="tools-housing">
<li id="tools-urban-renewal">
<li id="tools-project-management">
<li id="tools-feasibility-tools">
<li id="tools-governance-systems">
<li id="tools-communications">
<li id="tools-projects">
</ul>
</li>
The CSS that runs the nav is as follows:
ul.dropdown {
    font-weight: normal;
    font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
    font-style: normal;
    text-decoration: none;
    ul.dropdown li {
    background-color: transparent;
    color: #999;
    padding-top: 5px;
    padding-right: 10px;
    padding-bottom: 5px;
    padding-left: 10px;
    font-size: 12px;
    ul.dropdown li.hover,
    ul.dropdown li:hover {
    background-color: transparent;
    color: #FFF;
    ul.dropdown a:link,
    ul.dropdown a:visited    {
    color: #FFF;
    text-decoration: none;
    ul.dropdown a:hover        { color: #ff871f; }
    ul.dropdown a:active    {
    color: #b33b00;
    /* -- level mark -- */
    ul.dropdown ul {
    width: 150px;
    margin-top: 1px;
    background-image: url(/images/nav-transparency.png);
    background-repeat: repeat;
    color: #FFF;
    ul.dropdown ul li {
    font-weight: normal;
ul.dropdown li.selected a {
    color: #ff871f;
The last entry 'ul.dropdown li.selected a {color: #ff871f;}' is required in order to allocate a Slected State. Without it not Selected state is active and the links al remian white.
I have tried all manner of combinations and additonal tags with no success. Any suggestions greatly appreciated. I have not modified the default Javascript provided by BC in the system apart from allocating the required ulTagClass as specified. The Javascript in the supplied 'container.html' is as follows:
<script type="text/javascript" >
    // ids need to be unique per page, use different ones if you are including multiple menus in the same page
    // id of the nav tag, used above
    var divTagId = "myMenu1";
    // desired id for 1st <ul> tag
    var ulTagId = "myMenu1List";
    // desired class for 1st <ul> tag
    var ulTagClass = "dropdown dropdown-vertical";
    if ((null !== ulTagId) && ("" !== ulTagId)) {
        document.getElementById(divTagId).getElementsByTagName("ul")[0].setAttribute("id",ulTagId );
    if ((null !== ulTagClass) && ("" !== ulTagClass)) {
        document.getElementById(divTagId).getElementsByTagName("ul")[0].className = ulTagClass;
    // this will set the selected state
    if ((null !== ulTagId) && ("" !== ulTagId)) {
        catSetSelectedCSSItem(ulTagId);
</script>
Lastly this is one of the recomended navs by BC at the following address: http://lwis.net/free-css-drop-down-menu/
I have used these before with success but for the life of me this has stumped me big time.

Hi Matthew,
Having a super quick look at the code I'd say it's because of:
ul.dropdown li.selected a {
    color: #ff871f;
This affects all the child elements.
To override this down the line you could do something like:
ul.dropdown li.selected ul li a {
    color: #fff;
This would override the parent link color when selected.
You could probably then also add:
ul.dropdown li.selected ul li.selected a {
    color: #ff871f;
For the dropdown selected states.
That's a quick look though so don't quote me too much

Update for RDP 8.1 Windows 7 SP1 changed explorer right click context menu

I have a 4 pcs and 3 nas drive on my network. previous to the update I could view my pcs and nas drives in explorers right pane left click one and access the folders on it. since the update I can no longer do this because "remotedesktopconnection"
has been added as the default (previously it was "open") to the right click context menu. can someone help me change this back so when I right click a network computer icon in explorer I only see:
open
AND NOT                              remotedesktop
open in a new window                                                                                       open

Hi
Theoretically it could be done by modify registry. For example you could
modify right click menu on .exe file by changing values under
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\exefile\shellex\
However there are some problems that I cannot define that what kind of “file”
the network computer is.
And I found no article specific to this.
If you really need to restore your context menu and also need this update, I
suggest you uninstall this update first. Then back up your registry, install it
again. This time using process monitor you could record all registry modifications during
this update installation. It might take lots of work.
I tried to do that for you, unfortunately this update has been deployed in our environment which cannot be uninstalled from update history.

Pages v5.5.2 - Missing Option for right-to-left languages (bi-directional) such as Arabic & Kurdish

Started using Pages as Windows for Mac does not support right-to-left languages (Kurdish, Arabic) effectively. BUT, sadly disappointed that Pages does not seem to support right-to-left (bi-directional) text either. I realise it gives you the option of aligning the text to the right-hand side but this is different from having the right-to-left option. Previous posts said it could be found under Format - Text and there should be the option 'Reverse Text Direction' (see related thread here) but in the version I have (v5.5.2) I can't see it.
Please can anyone help? I'm having to seriously think about going back to Windows as Apple doesn't provide sufficient support for right-to-left languages.

I've seen the notes you referred to before and so was looking for the 'arrows' button but it's not present in my version of Pages.
I think perhaps something is wrong with your machine. See below a picture of mine. Do you have the Arabic or some other RTL keyboard showing in the "flag" menu at the top right?

LabVIEW app on OS with Right to Left writing

Colleagues,
Just curious - is it possible to "localize" LabVIEW application to "Right to Left" OS (Arabic, for example)?:
as you can see - minimize/maximize/close buttons and the Title are "swapped" on such OS.
Also menu bar should be on the right side.
Is it possible to get such "look and feel" for LabVIEW-based app (without huge work with building own buttons etc)?

I never noticed that the direction of LV windows is reversed, but that's probably because I work on an English OS and we mandate the same for most of the systems we deploy. I expect that Windows allows apps to override the system default when creating windows and that this is what LV does. I don't know if there are API calls which would allow you to modify that and I wouldn't recommend calling them even if they do exist.
In any case, if I were you I would be worried less about that and more about how the text is going to look when it has non-RTL content in it and what to do if you want to let users enter their own text. In my experience that's the real problem.
Try to take over the world!

Right to left Languages how do I setup it on my leopard?!

Hi
I bought a new macbook pro and I struggle to update right to left languages like Hebrew, this stiffen on me in the work the with Keynote Numbers ect'. someone can help?

You activate the input for Hebrew and other languages by going to system preferences/international/input menu and check the right box, plus the box for "show input menu in Finder." Then you select Hebrew in the "flag" menu at the top right of the Finder and type.
Unfortunately iWork and iWeb have various bugs with RTL languages. The best app to use is Mellel.

"Right-to-left" languages causing formatting change

Inserting Hebrew words into an English paragraph using the input menu causes formatting to change. I don't really know how to describe it well, but some have only a few words before it skips to the next line, etc.
For example, this line would be changed to something like
these
lines
when I
add a
Hebrew word here שףךדלגכ.
I've tried other languages, and it seems to do this with all "right-to-left" languages, i.e. Arabic, Hebrew.
Any ideas?

I've had the same problem - this is definitely something Apple engineers need to tackle before the next increment.... We've been waiting too long! I've had it occur in my paragraphs as well, after inserting a Hebrew or Arabic word in the midst of English text..... Only, instead of single words or short phrases, I've had several lines broken down into seperate
l
e
t
t
e
r
s.
Very odd. Not all is lost, however: I have found so far that I can have a complete paragraph in either Hebrew or Arabic - by itself, no English inclusions - and that will format well.....
For what it's worth, I tried the composing in TextEdit before copying and pasting suggestion, but no go.... Really odd, as TextEdit seems to have no difficulty at all displaying the mixed directional formatting. Apple engineers take note: If TextEdit can do it, why can't Pages?!!

Pages has never supported RTL correctly since it was released a number of years ago. It's been discussed many times in the forum for that app. You should use Mellel (the best), TextEdit, Nisus Writer, or OpenOffice. MS Word for Mac has never supported RTL at all. To ask Apple for improvements for Pages, go to
http://www.apple.com/feedback/pages.html
Unfortunately Apple never provides info on when problems will be fixed.
Other than Pages, support should be good:
In Mail, check the Menu item Format > Alignment > Writing Direction
For the OS in general, check System Preferences > Language & Text > Input Sources > Bidirectional Text

If I remember right, the MENU% tables were not part of Forms 3, but SQL*Menu. Check the FRM40_MNU% about menu info (only if you store forms in a database).

Hi Malky H.,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If your mouse is not scrolling in the direction you are expecting, check this Mouse setting in System Preferences:
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click Mouse.
Scroll direction: natural: Select this option to move the contents of a window in the same direction as your fingers.
You can find this information here:
OS X Yosemite: Use an Apple Magic Mouse
Note that these steps apply to previous versions of Mac OS X as well.
Best Regards,
Jeremy
