Does LabVIEW have support for entering Urdu language script?

[Reeves7]

Hi All!

My LabVIEW application requires users to enter their observations in a string control which is then stored in an excel file.

Now the issue is that the user wants to enter the data in Urdu language.

Now my question is, Does LabVIEW have support for entering Urdu language script in a string control?

If yes how can I implement this? If no, is there any possibility that National Instruments could extend some help in this regard upon request?

Regards,

Reeves

My experience from Hebrew, which is also right to left, is that it can be done if the operating system supports it, but it will work badly if you include anything in the text which is not an Urdu letter. This causes it to be displayed in the wrong side of the control and is only solved if you add more Urdu text after it.

One option you can try is including an ActiveX control (such as the rich text box) for editing the text and then you can probably get the text from it using a property. I don't remember trying it (my users don't usually need to input Hebrew text themselves), but I think it should work. I wouldn't have any hopes for NI doing anything about this, because it's considered to be a relatively small market.

Hi Reeves7,

Using Urdu as the language in a string control should be possible. Here's a link to an article that describes how to use LabVIEW with different languages:

I can't find anything specifically referring to using Urdu in LabVIEW, so I can't confirm that it is supported, but those steps would be the best course of action to find out.
