app.ILocale.baseTextDirection property

Gets the base direction of text in the user interface, which controls how mixed LTR/RTL text should behave.

Signature:

readonly baseTextDirection: data.BaseTextDirection;

Returns: data.BaseTextDirection

Introduced: version 1.0

Remarks

To achieve proper bi-directional text behavior in mixed left-to-right/right-to-left environments, most text should be marked up with Unicode control characters such as LRE, RLE and PDF. data.IFormatter.wrapForBidi() provides support for such markup.

The default value is contextual, but users might override it if they have specific bi-directional text requirements. See the data.BaseTextDirection documentation for details of the supported values.
