But in some computers having windows XP I see 2-1, and when I send the same sequense to a printer, I see 1-2, witch is the oposite of what is seen in the monitor? how can I change this behavior and see the write order in edit box?

The write order in an edit box does not change, unless the windows settings are set for right to left ( I guess ).

This is a programming forum, not a forum for asking how to use windows.
