Hi!
I want to print a string vertically on a form (as well as on the printer object). I saw this was possible to achieve by using WinAPI calls, but the API example I found was old, it didn't work for VB6.
Someone who knows how to change the orientation of the printout?

Only TrueType fonts can be rotated. This may have been mentioned by the 'old' API example...
Thanks for the answer. I think maybe I was just a little unclear regarding my question...
The line VB cannot execute is this:
---CUT---
nvalue = getdevicecaps(Picture1.hdc, 34)
---CUT---
, where I get an overflow error. It doesn't matter if I declare nvalue as a Variant, I get an overflow error anyway. I guess this error doesn't depend on the font, it arises because the return value of getdevicecaps does not fit in variable nvalue.
The reason i mentioned the old VBs, was that the help stated:
