render right to left text using gdi in csharp

To render right-to-left text using GDI in C#, you need to set the RightToLeft property of the control to RightToLeft.Yes and then set the RightToLeftLayout property to true. Here's an example:


main.cs
private void RenderText(Graphics g)
{
    string text = "مرحبا بالعالم"; // right-to-left text
    Font font = new Font("Arial", 12);
    Brush brush = Brushes.Black;
    StringFormat format = new StringFormat();

    format.FormatFlags |= StringFormatFlags.DirectionRightToLeft;

    // Enable right-to-left layout
    this.RightToLeft = System.Windows.Forms.RightToLeft.Yes;
    this.RightToLeftLayout = true;

    // Draw text
    RectangleF rect = new RectangleF(10, 10, 100, 100);
    g.DrawString(text, font, brush, rect, format);
}
539 chars
18 lines

Note that you also need to set the FormatFlags property of the StringFormat object to StringFormatFlags.DirectionRightToLeft to ensure that the text is correctly aligned from right to left.
