I have (nearly) upgraded an existing working VB 6 application to VB.NET using
the built in Vis Studio migration tool and a lot of editing. However, the
TextBoxes on Windows forms of the upgraded application display text as the
user types but in the reverse order. This effect occurs for letters but not
numbers. The insertion point always jumps back to the left of the last typed
letter!
Has anyone the answer - I'm sure it's simple but I can't fathom it.
Thanks,
Nigel

Try to set the RigthToLeft property of your Form to No , this may fix your
problem

Thanks Serhad. However, I've tried your suggestion (setting it to no at
design time and run time) but the effect persists. It does seem that in the
upgrade from VB6 it has got the idea it is in a RTL environment. New and
existing applications are not affected.
