Vertical label

Hello,

In the attachment you see another kind of tabs. But they're horizontal.
But I want to create vertical tabs. So I need vertical text: either a vertical label or a picture box with a drawn (wrapped) text.
Does anybody have experiences in doing that?

If it is not possible yet, is it possible to implement this at all?

Fred

Hello Fred 
Did you already think about using images to simulate this?

Hi, yes I thought about it and I refused to, because all texts must be changeable for international localisation.
On the other hand this would interest me in principle.

Fred

Hi Fred, 
As soon as I can you will help with this. 
Leaning that you can have images with several languages. 
I want to work with this in a Pallete.

I wonder if you could fake it by using a multiline texbox that wraps text at one character.

Owen, I meant a rotated text, see the tabs of object property manager of AutoCAD.

It is possible to set an orientation angle for fonts in Windows, but there is no way to set that font property in OpenDCL controls. I would say the only option is images.

Hm, thank you both.
I'm wondering how Autodesk did this in OPM and other palettes in Civil and Map ...

Fred

Maybe when the .NET functionality is finish, it will open up new possibilities...

Come to think of it, maybe the Microsoft ActiveX tab control could do sideways tabs.
