Hello,

I want to add a button that when clicked on should align a text field right to left

I tried to write a pl/sql as:

set_item_property('block.item_name',reading_order,right_to_left);

but it gives error replaced reading_order with direction doesn't work

How can i do it?

thanks

I don't believe you can.
Unless newer versions of form allow you to set that property. Older versions certainly don't.
Does the form builder help topic for set_item_property list that property as one that can be changed?

Thanks,

But, is there anyway to change alignment of a text field in forms?

If set_item_property won't do it, no.

SET_ITEM_PROPERTY('Block3.t',ALIGNMENT,ALIGNMENT_RIGHT);

use this hope this will solve your problem.

I know the OP says alignment in his original post but he's talking about reading_order (which he tried to use in set_item_property). The two properties do different things.
