  Hi,

  Can you please advise how to change Report Explorer/Report Contents (see attachment) for Section Reports so it is displayed in “right to left mode”?

  Hello,

  You can use the following line of code:
  
  (reportExplorer.Controls[0].Controls[0] as TreeView).RightToLeftLayout = true;

  However, it has some issue which I am discussing with dev team (AR-25999) and will update you once I get any information from them.

  Thanks,
  
  Mohit

  As for “(reportExplorer.Controls[0].Controls[0] as TreeView).RightToLeftLayout = true;” don’t you provide some public API that may be used instead of this “hack”?
  
  This code does not look very stable - it may stop to work if you change some internals of ReportExplorer control.

  You wrote: “it has some issue” - what issue do you mean?

  Thank you

  Selected node is displayed on the Left side. Also, Context Menu appear on the left side.
  
  This code does not look very stable - it may stop to work if you change some internals of ReportExplorer control.
  
  Also, please share if you are facing different issue.

  I am discussing the same thing with the development team.

  Thanks,

  We are sometimes (not always) receiving:

  System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
  
  at System.Windows.Forms.TreeView.CustomDraw(Message& m) +0x0263
  
  at System.Windows.Forms.TreeView.WmNotify(Message& m) +0x0016
  
  at System.Windows.Forms.TreeView.WndProc(Message& m) +0x0271
  
  at System.Windows.Forms.NativeWindow.Callback(IntPtr hWnd, Int32 msg, IntPtr wparam, IntPtr lparam) +0x0025

  Is this what you fixed in AR15.1?

  Hello,

  Selected node is displayed on the Left side is the issue we have fixed in the AR15.1. Could you please share the stripped down sample so that we can look into the issue.

  Thanks,
