Print Vertical Text

Hi,

How can I Draw on a graphics vertical text?

I have a label with vertical text (from bottom up -NOT like the StringFormatFlags.DirectionVertical)

I can paint it on some graphics but I have the main graphics with all my controls and I want to add it there for printing.

Is anyone familier with that?

Thanks

I made a mistake with the code.

e.Graphics.DrawString(str, this.Font, new SolidBrush(this.ForeColor), 0, 0);

Should be:

e.Graphics.DrawString(new_str, this.Font, new SolidBrush(this.ForeColor), 0, 0);

Here is how to draw a verticle string.

string str = "Hello World!";
string new_str = null;

foreach (char c in str)
{
new_str += c + "\r\n";
}

e.Graphics.DrawString(str, this.Font, new SolidBrush(this.ForeColor), 0, 0);

Things to take note about: the DrawString() method shown uses the default font so it matches the font used for everything else on your object. It also uses the same ForeColor. The last two parameters are the (x, y) cordanates that the string will be drawn at.

Hi,

This will draw a horizontal String (the regular style).

I want to draw a string bottom - up.

Thanks

If you have the label with the text the way you want it, why can't you position the label where you want it on your form?
