How to: Draw Vertical Text on a Windows Form

The following code example shows how to draw vertical text on a form by using the xref:System.Drawing.Graphics.DrawString%2A method of xref:System.Drawing.Graphics.

Example

[!code-cppSystem.Drawing.ConceptualHowTos#8] [!code-csharpSystem.Drawing.ConceptualHowTos#8] [!code-vbSystem.Drawing.ConceptualHowTos#8]

Compiling the Code

You cannot call this method in the xref:System.Windows.Forms.Form.Load event handler. The drawn content will not be redrawn if the form is resized or obscured by another form. To make your content automatically repaint, you should override the xref:System.Windows.Forms.Control.OnPaint%2A method.

Robust Programming

The following conditions may cause an exception:

  • The Arial font is not installed.
