Special features of the dialog editor
In the dialog editor dialogs can be shown and worked on. SDL Passolo takes the hierarchical structure of the Delphi forms into consideration, supporting different fonts within the dialog and a large number of standard controls.
To support BiDi-languages, for example Hebrew, Passolo offers a possibility of flipping the dialog around, or mirroring it. With the Flip function Passolo adjusts the controls accordingly by changing their coordinates and setting style-bits. With the Mirror function a special style-bit (WS_EX_LAYOUTRTL) is set and the operating system automatically takes over the mirroring of the dialog. This style-bit only exists in RC based dialogs, so the flip function can only be used for Borland dialogs. The right-to-left orientation can also be changed separately for controls. Here too the mirror option does not apply to Borland-controls but the option Toggle alignment is supported.
