VB.Net 2005 - Displaying Forms In LandScape format - Sourabh Das - Urgent

Dot Net Jantu

Hi All Gurus and Learners and Fools Like Me, Yesterday I had a client chat. This requirement is funny but a challenge for we developers. He wants a application from me. The functionality of the application is not that difficult. The challenge is in the displaying of the forms. I have not started coding yet. When I run the application, the screen should be in the land scape format irrelevant of which computer or laptop you are using and how costly it is smile :laugh: . The form should be displayed 90 degrees rotated in counter clock wise direction. How is that possible? Regards, Sourabh.

Thanks and Regards,

Are you saying that he wants the menu and toolbars down the right hand side and the status bar down the left? Or does he just want the form wider than it is high?

I think I have tought of a better option.. for each form I will create a user control.. and then call that user control on their main forms... suppose for Menu i will create frmMenu and this form will have one user control as uMenu.. each and every control will be placed in this uMenu.. and this uMenu will be draged on frmMenu... sorry.. can we rotate a single control by 90 degrees counter clock wise and adjusts its height and width as per its main form, I mean to say can we Anchor it?

Thanks and Regards,

Looking at this I don't think it is possible. I would question what is the purpose of rotating everything through 90 degrees; the only answer I can think of is that the user will be lying down to use this application! Or have I missed something?
