How to display vertical text using DrawText

[Mary Chennai]

Hi, CDC* pDc = GetDC(); CSize cSize = pDc->GetTextExtent( "1", 1 ); CRect cRect ( 0, iPadding, cSize.cx, cSize.cy ); pDc->DrawText( "1", 1, &cRect , DT_CENTER|DT_VCENTER|DT_NOCLIP ); The above code displays the text "1" horizontally in cRect . To display the text vertically, i did as follows: CFont newFont; newFont.CreateFont(24, 0, 900, 900, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, "Arial"); CFont* pFont = pDC->SelectObject(&newFont); pDC->DrawText("1", 1, &cRect, DT_CENTER|DT_VCENTER|DT_NOCLIP); pDC->SelectObject(pFont); newFont.DeleteObject(); But in this case, I couldnt get any text displayed. Please can someone help me to get the text displayed vertically. How should cRect be manipulated to draw the text vertically?

Did you see here or here? Have you tried playing with different CRect values? You've probably just made the drawing area too restrictive.
