I'm not found this solution in the captions of the "Edit Controls" articles. Can you get a link?

Draw vertical text is very very simple:

CFont VertFont;
LOGFONT LogFont;
HorzFont->GetLogFont(&LogFont);           // Get the info from an horizontal font
LogFont.lfEscapement=900;                 // Modify the info (now it is vertical):->
VertFont.CreateFontIndirect(&LogFont);    // Create the font
tmpDC.SelectObject(&VertFont);            // Apply to the DC
tmpDC.TextOut(x, y, "bye bye, Russell");  // Use it :cool:

:-D Your sample for drawing and not for the CEdit-derived classes. Changes CEdit font by SetFont methods hasn't effect.

Another way then is to put a normal CEdit control invisible somewhere, then drow it and on a tmp DC, rotate it 90 degrees and than draw it in the real DC. But, then, probally you have also to wrap (and rotate) the mouse interaction to send right information to the real CEdit control. X|
