Setting general EGL preferences

To set the basic EGL preferences:
  1. From the main menu, click Window > Preferences.
  2. In the Preferences window, click EGL in the tree.
  3. In the Encoding field, select the character-encoding set that will be specified in the EGL build (.eglbld) file, whenever you create the file. Your selection does not affect existing build files. The default value, UTF-8, is appropriate in most cases.
To establish preferences for Rich UI bidirectional text, which you use if your application supports a language that is read from right to left, such as Arabic or Hebrew, enable those preferences:
  1. In the Preferences window, expand EGL and select Bidirectional text. The Bidirectional text page is displayed.
  2. Select Enable bidirectional support. After you select this check box, the other options are available.
  3. To display and edit the bidirectional text fields in visual mode, which shows the way the text will be displayed, select Enable visual data ordering.
  4. For languages that read from right to left, select Enable right-to-left orientation.

To set the bidirectional preferences, in the Preferences window, click EGL > Appearance > Bidirectional text. For details, see “Setting preferences for Rich UI bidirectional text.”
