Re: [VB6] Windowed Label that can have vertical orientation

Thanks for sharing Eduardo...2 comments from me:

1) It would be nice if there was a small test project instead of just the CTL file.
2) Is your control Unicode? I did a quick test and just got "?" for each Unicode character (even after choosing Arial Unicode MS as the font).

No, because it uses a standard VB.Label inside.
Perhapds replacing it with one Krool's LabelW it could be made Unicode.
Or directly printing the caption with the DrawTextEx API instead of using a Label.

Please try again with Arial Unicode MS because I changed something.

I tried the new version - I had to remove some unused Command1_Click code that was preventing it from compiling/running. Still no luck with Unicode, but if you are using the label in the UC then there's a good chance Krool's LabelW would work for those who need unicode.
