[ Note I'm using wxGTK ] That's the problem though, I have to display both latin like and arabic text, and part of the dialog should read right to left and other left to right. This is also a program if I want to let the user pick up a language for the ui at the beginning of my program. If wxwidgets does flip "automatically", I will be able to change the texts, but not the orientation of the dialogs at runtime. Say I have access to a computer configured with the arabic version of windows and everything is right to left. If I pick up English, the application should change to left-to-right orientation, shouldn't it? > I haven't had to deal with artwork/icons yet, but I'm hoping that > http://www.wxwidgets.org/manuals/stable/wx_wxartprovider.html#wxartprovider > will insulate me from some/most of the problems (Esp. since the GTK > Stock Icons seem to support RTL variants. See > http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/gtk/gtk-Stock-Items.html) I was hoping wxwidgets would have a way to precisely specify that a bitmap has to be flipped or not, and the same for text controls, where it should be possible to force a setting manually. -- Rastertech España S.A.

My first test is calling this in the constructor, and works perfectly. Calling this at runtime doesn't affect the layout of the already created widgets: the window bar and individual elements like buttons are drawn with the new orientation (which I see by the change of button shadows) but they still stick in their place even though I call Layout. Does this mean that the only way to re-flip all the widgets is to close and reopen the dialog, or is this a bug? I'm using 2.8.0. -- Rastertech España S.A.
