JDialog window controls component orientation (right-to-left)

Question

Hi

I have a question about mirroring the JDialog window controls (ie the close sign 'X', the title and so on)

When I apply the right-to-left component orientation for a JDialog, it flips everything within apart from the window controls. I initially thought this is to do with the JRE I was using and the operating system regional language.

However, even with Arabic OS (WIndows XP) and the JRE locale is set to Arabic, the window controls are still not mirrored (ie the close sign is still on the top right and the title is still on the top left)

Can anyone help with this please?

Your help is appreciated.

Cheers

MAA

I never saw something like that before. Why you would want the close button on the left side?

Anyway, I think the only solution is make your own dialog (a Window with your buttons on the top).
