What is probably meant:

Assume the following layout:
---------    ------------------
| Label1|    | Edit1          |
---------    ------------------

Now change the BidiMode property of both controls (or maybe the form) 
to bdRightToLeft.

Then the layout should change too:
------------------    ---------
|          Edit1 |    | Label1|
------------------    ---------

(at least it is mirroring)
