Graham, 1. Vertical Text. Yes, use the Print method to print your text in a picture box and then use StretchBlt to flip it. it's not too flexible but you can do some neet stuff. 2. No. the graphic methods are creating a bitmap, *not* a metafile. You need to "play" you graphic commands into a memory metafile using API calls. 3.No. This is unfortunate but I don't think you can pass either a control or a printer object to the same procedure. On option is to write a routine to takes both a control and a printer as an paramter and then a final "flag" prameter that says which one to manipulate. The best solution probably is to pass the .hDC and use api functions to do your graphics. -=Jonathan There is 1 Reply.
