Hi Saud,

RadControls for Windows 8 HTML do not have RTL support yet. You can post a request in the Ideas and FeedBack portal, so that others can vote for it, which will raise its priority.
In the meantime, can you list the controls that you are trying to use in RTL and show us (possibly with screenshots) how they look in your app. We will check if there are simple temporary workarounds for these.

for now i am using the Grid and all the cells are correctly aligned RTL, but the Column Headers are NOT.

How do i change the text alignment or direction for the Column Headers?

Hello Saud,

We inspected the issues presented in RadGrid in a RTL scenario, and we managed to address most of them with styles. You can find attached the file with these styles and a minified version of the same styles (which is slightly smaller in physical size). You can use whichever you prefer of the two - the content is identical.

To apply this styles do the following:

1) Add the chosen file to your application.
2) Reference it in your HTML, e.g.
<link href="/css/rtl.css" rel="stylesheet" />

3) Assign "k-rtl" as a class name of the BODY element:
<body class="k-rtl">

Now, you do not need to set direction to any of the elements, the styles will change the orientation.

A few things to note:

1) Since they need modification in the JavaScript logic, selection, resizing and reordering still do not work in RTL direction.
2) These styles are a temporary work around, when we release RTL support, you can remove them from your app. We will post back in this thread to notify you of this change.

Kind regards,

Hello,

Just a quick follow-up. From Q2 2013, RadControls for Windows 8 HTML offer built-in RTL support. You can read more here:
