Vertical Alignment of a Label

[Don]

This seems like it should be soo easy......

I have a independent label on a form. I would like to to
change the alignment of the the label to vertical. Fine.
No big deal, changed this in Properties.

However, the text reads "top to bottom." I want the text
to read "bottom to top," so the user turn their head left
to read the label.

It's just a simple label that gives the title of the
form. I can't figure out how to accomposh this. Any ideas?

Thanks so much,
Don

Hi Joan, there is a solution to this issue here:
http://www.lebans.com/verticaljustification.htm
VerticalJustificationA2K.zip is a database containing a function to
allow for vertical centering of the contents of a Label or TextBox
control. Works with both Forms and Reports.

You read the request differently than I did. He said he wanted users to
turn their head to read the text bottom to top - sounded like rotated to me.

Nonetheless, he's certain to find the solution at your site.

Cheers!

Easiest solution, and the least troublesome for a user, is to simply make
the text box one column wide then the label will read normally but from top
to bottom as:

L
A
B
E
L

This is the same issue that i'm having. I want text vertical read from bottom to top ... not top to bottom. (I want the bottom of the text to be on the right side ... not the left.

I tried Leban's RotateVer2 control. It sounded like the solution, but unfortunetly it won't work for my application. It doesn't have transparancy or OnClick Events ...two requirements of the project. For now, I will need to stick with Horizontal, and make room for the text.

THe Metafile based RotateText solution does support Transparency and the
On Click event as it uses a standard Access Image control to display the
Rotated Text.
