Text displayed backwards

[pinkhardlionel]

Hi

I'm having a problem with text drawn with my function displaying backwards, can anyone assist?

	CWindowGc& gc=SystemGc();
	
	_LIT(KMyFontName,"Series S60 Sans");
	const CFont* myFont = CEikonEnv::Static()->DenseFont();
	gc.UseFont(myFont);
	
	TInt height = (myFont->AscentInPixels() * 3) / 2;
	TInt baseline = (height / 2) + (myFont->AscentInPixels() / 2);
	TInt margin = 5;

	gc.SetBrushStyle(CGraphicsContext::ESolidBrush);
	gc.SetBrushColor(KRgbWhite);
	gc.SetPenColor(KRgbBlack);
	
	CArrayFixSeg<TPtrC>* array = new CArrayFixSeg<TPtrC>(10);
	AknTextUtils::WrapToArrayL(iText, 217, *myFont,*array);

	gc.DrawRect(TRect(5, 5, 235, (height * array->Count()) + 15));

	for (TInt i = 0; i < array->Count(); i++)
		{
	gc.DrawText(array->At(i), TRect(6, (height * i) + 8, 224, 
			(height * (i + 1)) + 8), baseline, CGraphicsContext::ECenter, 
			margin);
		}

English text displays fine, but Arabic text displays backwards.

May be AknBidiTextUtils class might ba helpful for you.

Something like this:

TBuf<255>buffer (array->At(i));
AknBidiTextUtils::ConvertToVisualAndClipL(buffer, *(myFont), text1Rect.Width(), text1Rect.Width(), AknBidiTextUtils::ERightToLeft);
gc.DrawText(buffer, text1Rect, baseline, CGraphicsContext::ECenter, margin);
