    Hello,

    Yes, you are right, GridControl does not support RTL in version 7.1. I will be happy to help you, but I first need to clarify your task. Please describe it in greater detail. Would you also provide a screenshot to illustrate your requirements? We will do our best to find an appropriate solution for you.
    Note that in version 15.1 of our components, we introduced the Right To Left layout support for our controls. Take a look at Right-To-Left layout support for more information.

      Dear Nadezhda,
      here you can see the problem (see attached files).
      Text box controls supported RTL feature but GridView - not.
      How I can get version with RTL support. I need it for GridView only.
      Thanks.
      Vadim

      Hello,
      To accomplish this task, you can use the GridView.CustomDrawCell event. All required information and methods related to this event can be found in the argument of the RowCellCustomDrawEventArgs type. In the GridView.CustomDrawCell event handler, you can implement all required logic to draw a right to left string. To prevent all further paint operations of this cell, it's necessary to set e.Handled to true.
      Let me know if you have additional questions.

                Hello GALIT,
                There is no way to implement RTL in TextEdit v7.1. As Nadezhda already mentioned, our components support RTL starting with the 15.1 version.  I recommend that you update your DevExpress Components to the latest version.
