Right-to-Left Support

The RadMultiSelect fully supports right-to-left (RTL) language locales (Figure 1). In order to turn on the RTL support you should set dir=rtl to the html or body element or at least to its parent element (Figure 1). You can also use the direction:rtl CSS property.

RadMultiSelect-rtl

Example 1: Set the "direction: rtl" style to the RadMultiSelect's wrapper element in order to enable the RTL support for the control.

<div dir="rtl" runat="server">
    <telerik:RadMultiSelect ID="RadMultiSelect1" runat="server" DataTextField="text" DataValueField="value" Filter="Contains" Width="400px"
        Placeholder="Select attendees...">
        <Items>
            <telerik:MultiSelectItem Text="Steven White" Value="1"></telerik:MultiSelectItem>
            <telerik:MultiSelectItem Text="Nancy King" Value="2"></telerik:MultiSelectItem>
            <telerik:MultiSelectItem Text="Nancy Davolio" Value="3"></telerik:MultiSelectItem>
            <telerik:MultiSelectItem Text="Robert Davolio" Value="4"></telerik:MultiSelectItem>
