Remarks
Use the TextDirection property to get or set the direction of the display text of a ToolStripItem, such as a ToolStripLabel or a ToolStripButton. You can set the TextDirection property on the ToolStrip itself, in which case the setting will apply to each ToolStripItem you add to the ToolStrip, or you can set the TextDirection property differently for each ToolStripItem.
