RTL Support In C1SuperTooltip

October 10 2012

ComponentOne SuperTooltip for WinForms allows you to create visually rich WinForms applications with Vista-style ToolTips and labels that can display HTML content. C1SuperTooltip supports virtually all HTML constructs, including cascading style sheets, mixed fonts and text colors, preformatted text, tables, bulleted and numbered lists, and more. Even with these rich set of customization, only missing link in this control was the support for RTL (RightToLeft) feature. This feature is useful with the languages read from right-to-left. Since most of the controls in Studio for Winforms support RTL feature & after requests from our customers using this control, support for RTL was introduced in C1SuperTooltip**.**

The ToolTip Text for C1SuperTooltip now supports the Dir attribute & you need to provide the value RTL to enable the feature. You can try the implementation using the given HTML markup under the Html tab in C1SuperToolTip Editor.
