Solution 1

You have to set the RightToLeftProperty to Windows.Forms.RightToLeft.Yes and the RightToLeftLayout to True.
The first will make your Form read from right to left (the Form Caption) and the latter makes the Controls on your Form go from left to right. RightToLeftLayout[^] only works when RightToLeft[^] is Yes or through Inherited on Yes.

You would probably need a Form.Invalidate() also.

Nope, not needed. At least not when I just tried it :)
