Damn you DrawText!

[peterchen]

DrawText doesn't do vertical text - there goes my promise for a quick cutesy hack :(

No, but if you're using GDI+, you can use a rotate transform.

What if you put a linebreak after each character? Or turn your screen 90 degrees.

Visual Studio can't evaluate this, can you? public object moo { __get { return moo; } __set { moo = value; } }

Use GDI+. Look up StringFormatFlagsDirectionVertical.

That's not the same as vertical text. I think what he's looking for is :- H e l l o For that, he can use StringFormatFlagsDirectionVertical.

Or set the escapement on the font?

[stephen hazel]

well, it's the FONT that sets the angle... If DrawText doesn't respond to that, I -know- that TextOut does.

[Jim Crafton]

You don't need GDI+ If you're on any NT based version of Win32 then SetWorldTransform() will do the trick as well.

1. Draw the text on an off-screen buffer 2. Use one of the many readily available CAPTCHA busters to find the locations of the characters within the image. 3. Reposition the characters on a new off-screen buffer in the order they were discovered, except vertically 4. BitBlt the off-screen buffer onto the screen buffer 5. Bask in the warm glow of success and admiration of your peers

cheers, Chris Maunder

:-D I tried, but the captcha buster started to sneak V1agra messages in...
