    Rotate entire form

    With tablet PCs, many of my users are using them in portrait view versus the standard lanscape view of a desktop monitor.

    Is there a way to rotate the entire form (including controls) to a portrait view using VB6 code. I believe the video card has some functionality here, but I'd like to accomplish this in code, if possible.

    Thanks in advance.

    You don't rotate a form - rather resize it and then reposition/resize some (or all) of your controls if necessary.

    Ahhh... I'm not sure you understand. True, the form would have to be resized to fit in new screen.scalewidth etc, but I'm referring to the actual rotation of the form. Its like rotating your monitor and still being able to read the form in correct orientation.

    The Controls would all have to rotated. If the controls can be rotated can't the form? And if the form can be rotated, would it automatically rotate the inherited controls?
