'Declaration
Public Property RightToLeft As Boolean
public bool RightToLeft { get; set; }

Property Value
Type: System.Boolean
Returns a Boolean.
Remarks
When the return value is true, the Printer object is running on a right-to-left operating system, such as Arabic Windows or Hebrew Windows. Text is running from right to left.
When the return value is false, the Printer object is running on a left-to-right operating system, such as English Windows, and text is running from left to right. If the container does not implement this ambient property, this is the default value.
Note
Functions and objects in the Microsoft.VisualBasic.PowerPacks.Printing.Compatibility.VB6 namespace are provided for use by the tools for upgrading from Visual Basic 6.0 to Visual Basic. In most cases, these functions and objects duplicate functionality that you can find in other namespaces in the .NET Framework. They are necessary only when the Visual Basic 6.0 code model differs significantly from the .NET Framework implementation.
Examples
The following example demonstrates how to retrieve the RightToLeft property value.
Dim Printer As New Printer
If Printer.RightToLeft = True Then
Printer.Print("Printing from right to left.")
Else
Printer.Print("Printing from left to right.")
End If
Printer.EndDoc()
