Why can''t I get a RightToLeft grid to work?

I''m evaluating essential suite for my Hebrew app. I''ve attached a sample in which I''ve tried to make a grid RTL, but to no avail. any tips? SyncFusionRTLGrid_5010.zip

RTL is not currently supported in our grids. It is one of the the things we plan to add after the 2.0 release.

on 10/8/2003, Stefan Hoenig claimed this should be ready in "a couple of months". (http://www.syncfusion.com/support/forums/message.aspx?MessageID=2699)
that was 7 months ago. Is there a better time estimate on this now?

I do not have an estimate for this work.

Our 2.0 release has and is taking much longer than we intended.

Hi, I downloaded the new evaluation and the RTL grid works - mazal tov :-)
But even though the column style has a RightToLeft property, I can''t get it to affect the grid. I want most of the columns to be RTL but the numeric columns should be LTR, otherwise negative numbers appear with the minus sign on the right, which is wrong.

If you have set the style.CellValueType, I think you can get the minus sign to appear on the left by explicitly setting the style.Format property (to put it on the right which gets reversed when it is displayed RTL). So, this setting seemed to work for me.

this.gridDataBoundGrid1.Binder.InternalColumns[1].StyleInfo.Format = "#0.00;#0.00-";

Though the Format property seems to solve the display of the minus, the data is always right aligned regardless of the TextAlign value.
(I used gridGroupingControl1.TableDescriptor.Columns["myColumn"].Appearance.AnyRecordFieldCell.Format)

It is a bug ?

TextAlign controls the placement of text with respect to any buttons present in the cell. To control horizontal alignment, try the HorizontalAlignment property instead.
