Hola. Ya he estado buscando la manera de colocar el texto en vertical y he visto un control muy majo, pero no hace lo que yo necesito.
Lo que necesito es que el texto esté escrito hacia abajo, tal que así:



Se me había ocurrido un método que es insertando saltos de linea después de cada letra, pero seguro que hay otro más sencillo con alguna propiedad o algo. ¿Alguna idea?

Gracias por adelantado.

Pero ¿En qué control quieres poner el texto?

En un Command Button o un Label.

Yo tengo la respuesta.

En un formulario agrega este código:

Option Explicit
Dim cL As New cLogo
Private Sub Form_Load()
cL.DrawingObject = picLogo
cL.Caption = "J.Ignacio Moratiel"
End Sub
Private Sub Form_Resize()
On Error Resume Next
picLogo.Height = Me.ScaleHeight
On Error GoTo 0
cL.Draw
End Sub


Después en un módulo de clase agrega este otro código:

Option Explicit

Ejecuta y listo. Si no funciona mandame un email a ifm_555@hotmail.com con el título"ayuda-canalvb" y la descripcióny te envio en zip el código.

Por si alguien mas lo necesita aqui les dejo un control ocx para colocr texto en forma vertical.
