Left to Right support on single control

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

My application is defined to be Right to left (in the index.html):

<script src="/sap/ui5/1/resources/sap-ui-core.js"
  id="sap-ui-bootstrap"
  data-sap-ui-libs="sap.m,sap.makit,sap.viz,sap.ui.commons"
  data-sap-ui-rtl="true"
  data-sap-ui-theme="sap_bluecrystal">
</script>

Several sap.m control have unexpected behavior, e.g. DateTimeInput - the column of hour and the column of minutes are switched.

I solved the previous problem using css, but I have a problem with Tile container, both of the navigation arrows are placed in the same side of the tile container.

Can anyone suggest how to solve this issue?

If determining a specific direction for a specific control is possible, I think this would be the best solution (because I don't need this control to have RTL properties) .

Thanks,

Ran

Hi Ran,

It works fine in the below link

Could be some other issue.

The core method get RTL could be obtained by

sap.ui.getCore().getConfiguration().getRTL()

Hi Venktash,

Thank you very much for your prompt reply.

I can see that the example you provided is working, I guess the difference is the UI5 version, you are using 1.18.8 and I'm using 1.16.4 (SP7).

If I understood correctly the usage of sap.ui.getCore().getConfiguration().getRTL(), it is used for obtaining the direction of the application, can it be used to set a specific control's direction?
