Text postion on command button

[jester4281]

Is there a way to get the text to run vertical on a command button instead of horizontal ?

The only way I know of is to create a bitmap of the text and use it in the picture property instead of having a caption.

Regards,

Mike

If you have VFP 8.0 you could use a pageframe with a single page with .TabOrientation of 2 - Left, ascending text, or 3 - Right, descending text.

Reduce the width of the pageframe to suit and use the .Activate() event of the one page as a substitute for the .Click() event of a command button.

If you don't have VFP 8.0, you could try the OleClass MSComctLib.Tabstrip.2 or OleClass TabDlg.SSTab.1, following the technique outlined.

Jester4281,

Is this something they are looking at ever offering.

I doubt it. I have never heard of anyone asking for vertical text on a command button. It's not the sort of thing that the average developer would think of doing.

If you really want to do it, I'd go with mspratt's bitmap option.

jester4281,

If you mean the Caption Button, you can do it with a little trick. Set WordWrap property to .T.

In Button Init event put the caption like this:

This.Caption = 'C' + chr(13) + ;
   'a' + chr(13) + ;
   'p' + chr(13) + ;
   't' + chr(13) + ;
   'i' + chr(13) + ;
   'o' + chr(13) + ;
   'n'

That should works
Regards
