Title: Label with Rotatable Text
Post by: Archie on December 27, 2016, 07:01:16 PM

This is merely a modified version taken from here:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/416897/how-do-i-rotate-a-label-in-c

- Download the attached file
- Open AdvancedHMI in Visual Studio
- In Solution Explorer expand down the AdvancedHMIControls project
- Right click the Support folder and select Add->Existing
- Browse to the file you downloaded from this thread
- Rebuild the solution
- you will now have an OrientedTextLabel in the Toolbox

IMPORTANT NOTE: If you change the rotation, you will also have to change the AutoSize property to False

The attached control in this post is a modified version of Archie's code.

The old AntiClockwise text direction was renamed to Mirrored and the new version of the AntiClockwise is actually a readable text (check the attached picture).

This control also sets the AutoSize property to False on creation.

It is possible to manipulate these labels to be used as connecting/diagram lines.

Attached picture shows a somewhat silly example.

Also, an unrelated suggestion for Archie to apply the option "None" for legend plates of the Momentary/Mushroom button controls and maybe make their back color as Black.

This change will be in the next update.

This is now fine with the Momentary button control.

Can the same be applied to the Mushroom button control?

This is now fine with the Mushroom button control as well.
