UrduEditor Letter Joining Problem
Some Windows XP users have been having the problem with UrduEditor that it does not properly join words. The solution is to properly configure the support for right-to-left languages in Windows XP. This is done as follows: Open Control Panel, go to the Regional and Language options. There select the Languages tab and check both check boxes as shown in the following figure.
Application of these settings will properly configure the required right-to-left language support on Windows XP. You will need to have your Windows XP CD ready. The needed files will be copied from the CD and at the end it requires you to restart the system. Now you can properly use UrduEditor. I am still trying to make UrduEditor work on Windows 98. It was difficult enough to compile the sources on Windows 98. The latest distributions of Visual Studio 6.0 and Platform SDK do not support Windows 98. I had to strip UrduEditor of the email functionality. Although it now compiles, it still does not yield the desirable results. I do not know how to enable support of right-to-left languages in Windows 98. I will thankful if somebody could guide me in this regard.

Support for right-to-left languages (Arabic, Farsi, Hebrew, and Urdu) can
be added only to a right-to-left language version of Windows 95/98.
To enter text in a given language, users need to use the appropriate keyboard layout.
To add keyboard support
In Control Panel, double-click Keyboard, and on the Language tab, click Add.
In the Add Language dialog box, choose a setting from the Language list.
To change the keyboard layout for a language, click the Properties button, and
in the Language Properties dialog box, choose a setting from the Keyboard layout
list.
To be able to switch between keyboards by clicking an indicator on the taskbar,
select the Enable indicator on taskbar check box.

Nabeel: Windows 98 does not have much of a support for right-to-left languages. Or Unicode for that matter. And I thought the point of the Urdu Editor was to allow users to write Urdu without much (any?) support from the OS?

Jahanzeb: Thank you for providing the information.
Zack: That was the idea behind UrduEditor. Unfortunately it does not work on Windows 98. I have, however, another idea that might wook equally well on all platforms and I am working on it.
