labels.

[mooose]

I've just gotta a couple of questions about labels.

1. is there a way to sort of flip a label so it could be upside down vertical or which ever direction?

2. can make the actual text of a label partly transperant? so I could kinda make a sort of a shadow effect?

ok the next question is really dumb of me and it isn't about labels but I've never used scroll bars by placing them on forms before.

how do you use a scroll bar by placing it on a certain area on a form change a number in a text box, by adding one when they click up and deleting one when they click down?

thanx

1. I don't know.
2. Create a label and it's caption. Set the BackStyle to transparent and the ForeColor to &H0000012&. Copy that label, making it a control array, and make its Top and Left 20 twips greater than the first. Set its ForeColor to &H0000010&. Voila, a nice shadow. [You may have to reverse the ForeColors depending on the look you want.]
3. Try this:
Option Explicit
Dim old_hscrollValue As Integer

Private Sub HScroll1_Change()
If HScroll1.Value > old_hscrollValue Then
Label2.Caption = Label2.Caption + 1
Else
Label2.Caption = Label2.Caption - 1
End If
old_hscrollValue = HScroll1.Value
End Sub

Make sure to set your Max, Min, LargeChange, and SmallChange values to something reasonable [such as 100, 0, 10, 1].

Also, set Label2.Caption = 0 [or whatever number you want] as a property or on Form_Load.
