Hii all

i have a screen containing a menu and a screen
my menu contains icons in the toolbar

the property pallete of any field of the menu contains :

Quote:

visible in menu : yes

visible in horizontal menu toolbar : yes

visible in vertival menu toolbar : no

icon in menu : no

icon file name : lang_a

i made a button in my screen that change the direction of preview from right to left and another one to preview from left to right (change from arabic to english and english to arabic)

when i press the button of chage from english to arabic the preview will be all show from the right to left and that's right
except the shortcut icons in the menu (lang_a)
although my menu buttons direction are changed also

the code that i wrote to change from left to right

Quote:

SET_FORM_PROPERTY(p_module,DIRECTION,LEFT_TO_RIGHT);
SET_WINDOW_PROPERT('WINDOW',DIRECTION,LEFT_TO_RIGHT);

the code that i wrote to change from right to left

Quote:

SET_FORM_PROPERTY(p_module,DIRECTION,RIGHT_TO_LEFT);
SET_WINDOW_PROPERT('WINDOW',DIRECTION,RIGHT_TO_LEFT);

this works right for the menu altough i didnot mention 'menu' in my code but only the shortcut icons didnot chage the direction

how to change the icons direction also???

thanks for everyone helped and helping me

When you say "shortcut icons", do you mean that the shortcut should appear on the other side of the full text when you change direction?

Use Set_Item_Property(position) to 'move' the icons on the toolbar to the other size of the screen. I don't think that Forms can do this automatically.

'set_item_property' does n't have any 'Direction' parameter!
Is there any other solution?

I mean there is no 'position(x,y)' property for icon item! So how can I use 'set_item_property' for icon item to change my icon's direction from 'left_to_right' to 'right_to_left'!

My 'push button' has an 'X' and a 'Y' coordinate, so I am able to place it anywhere I wish.

What do you mean by 'direction' on a 'button'?
