TextBox RTL with letters and numbers

I set the TextBox.RightToLeft property to Yes.
When I'm entering this text: "a 32" the string that is stored is "32 a". the order of entering the text is: first 32 then Space and thena.

How can I have the value stored as entered?

OP: How can I have the value stored as entered?

The string will be stored exactly in the same order you entered characters regardless of display settings of TextBox.

If you enter 32Spacea then your values will be stored in the same order and the value of Text property of TextBox will be 32 a while it will be displayed different based on RightToLeft and TextAlign property.

Here is the result of entering the text in the order: 32Spacea. Choose your desired setting, store the string and then show it again in a TextBox with the same settings.

MSDN:

If the value of the RightToLeft property is changed at run time, only raw text without formatting is preserved.

You will have to reverse its order yourself:

string[] text = textBox1.Text.Split(new char[]{' '}, StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries); //get string while preserving the words
Array.Reverse(text); //reverse the order of words (not their chars)
string finalValue = string.Join(" ", text); //make the string out of array

Try this:

Set your TextBox Property RightToLeft = NO and use TextAlign = Right.
