sorry I meant to write:
aren't the languages which use RTL layout read from right to left?

because when path is shown as "C:\a\b\c" to preserve the volume part of the path
you need wxST_DOTS_END, while when the path is shown as "c\b\a\:C" to preserve 
the volume part of the path you need wxST_DOTS_START, isn't it?

I.e. when in LTR the programmer may want to use wxST_DOTS_END and when in RTL he 
may want to use wxST_DOTS_START.
