How can I turn on right-to-left in the message boxes (similar to the BIDIMode property in the dialogs)?
Thanks.
Right-to-left in InstallAware Message Boxes
Re: Right-to-left in InstallAware Message Boxes
Actually I also found no way to change BidiMode of an entire dialog using object rules. Why is the form not in the object list?
Can this be done directly using the .miaf file?
Thanks.

Message boxes are provided by the OS, so you cannot control them.
Form properties are not change-able at runtime as yet. I'll add this as a feature suggestion.

Thank you.
RTL Windows supports the RTLREADING (don't remember exact name) flag for message boxes. Is there a way to ask IA to use this?

Isn't that flag automatic for RTL Windows, or does it need to be manually specified?

Re: Right-to-left in InstallAware Message Boxes
On localized versions of Windows it's on by default but these are not very popular. On the hebrew/arabic enabled versions - this is not on by default and an app must specify it.
I've localized all except this. The major problem is that error messages and notifications can be totally cryptic because a single number or english word garbles up the sentence.
Is there any chance I can get a version of IA8 with this on by default?

I'll add an RTL wish list also. Wish lists are effective only for future versions.
