Determines the reading order of the control. You can specify right-to-left or left-to-right reading order or choose to have the reading order determined by the keyboard language of text first entered.
KeyboardLanguage propertyThe KeyboardLanguage property overrides the keyboard language that is currently in use (including changing the active keyboard language icon on the taskbar). This property specifies the initial keyboard language when the control receives focus. This feature is useful for volume data entry programs because it reduces the need to make keyboard language changes when moving from one field to the next. You can subsequently choose a new keyboard language.
In Form view or Datasheet view, Access will activate the designated keyboard language. If the operation fails (most likely because the requested keyboard language is not available on the developer or user system), the active keyboard language is not changed.
This property determines the placement of text within a control. In addition to the standard left, right, and center character alignments, right-to-left features in Access use the General alignment setting to specify how text is aligned.
This property allows you to place the control's vertical scroll bars and buttons in the applicable right-to-left or left-to-right direction. To have the scroll bar follow the setting of the Orientation property for the form or report that contains the control, click System. (A vertical scroll bar is placed on the left if the form or report Orientation property setting is Right-to-left; and on the right if the form or report Orientation property setting is Left-to-right.
This property determines if Western (Arabic) or locale-specific shapes will be used to display numeral values. For example, two different representations of digit shapes are used in number of Arabic countries: Arabic and Hindi. You can choose to have text in controls be specifically Arabic or National (typically Hindi in an Arabic locale), you can let the Microsoft Windows operating system determine the numeral shapes to display, or you can choose to have the numeral shape be determined by the language context of adjacent text (Arabic and Hindi shapes only).
