vertical text

[Schirrmeister]

Hi,

how can i rotate a text (label) 90 degrees in Visual Studio, like the vertical tabs(e.g. Toolbox on the left)?

Thanx in advance

you will need to have the Paint Method overloaded and write the text manually.

Thx, but that sounds too hard for me, as i'm relative new to programming.
So, if anyone knows an easier way, i would be very grateful.

Here's some sample code to work with:


this.Paint += new PaintEventHandler(DrawTab);


Private void DrawTab()
{
base.OnPaint();

Graphics g = this.CreateGraphics();
g.Clear(this.BackColor);

g.DrawString( "hello world",
this.Font,
new SolidBrush(this.ForeColor),
0, 0,
new StringFormat(StringFormatFlags.DirectionVertical));
}

see there you go.. thanks for the sample. was bit lazy for overriding the paint

Thx a lot for the sample, on my own i'd never get that, i'm still learning the language and i don't know what's possible.
