    you could make the string in to a char array, add an Environment.Newline after each char and then add the string as your button's text ( in reverse if you wish to read from bottom first )

    My solution was to use a tab control and rotate it 90 degrees to the reverse. Works good.

    Maybe he means the location of the tabs to be at left side.
