extendeddatatable: Support for RTL (right to left) languages

[wlh]

Hello Community,

I wanted to ask if anybody is using the rich:extendeddatatable of RF 4.3 with right-to-left oriented languages. I did not find any property in the table to define the direction.

In case I define it only in the surrounding container (div), the table behavior is confusing. On one hand the columns are ordered right-to-left, but left-aligned in the table. The vertical scrollbar is on the left side (which is fine), but it leads to a misalignment of header and data cells. And the third thing I discovered is that column resizing behaves unconventionally, when you drag the left border of a column to resize it, you do in fact resize its left neighbor column and not the intended col itself.

My questions:

Is the extendeddatatable prepared for RTL languages at all?

What do I have to consider / configure when using it with RTL languages?

Is anybody using the table in an RTL environment and can give me some hints regarding the problems described above?

Thanks

WLH

Update:

I managed to find out that column-alignment works, also header- and data-cell-alignment works. Was my own fault that these features did not work, sorry.

What is not working is column resizing and column-reordering.
