We need to add a functionality that will make it possible for components to inherit,
at run time, their direction from their container. Which means that if a component
doesn't have a specific orientation LTR or RTL, it should follow the orientation of
its container.

EVALUATION Its not clear that inheriting ComponentOrientation from your container is the correct behavior. What we need is a good default value for ComponentOrientation based on locale. Given this, and an easy way to set groups of containers to have the same orientation, I think this problem would be solved. brian.beck@Eng 2000-02-10 A new RFE has been entered to track this problem. See 4337186. It describes the problem as above rather than via the proposed solution given in this RFE's description. brian.beck@Eng 2000-05-10
