Rotation of Column Headings in a Grid Report

Is there any way to specify that you want a column heading rotated to 45 or 90 degrees? I have a grid report with single character values in the grid but the column headings are very lengthy so the resulting report is several pages wide. I'd like to be able to rotate the column headings 90 degrees (this is easily done in Excel) to get the report to fit on a single page.Change the textbox WritingMode property to tb-rl. Sorry, no tb-lr yet.

Rotating Text with Custom Code

Is it possible to actually rotate text 90 degrees to the left or right in a text box using custom code?The only WritingMode options supported in the current release are tb-rl and
lr-tb.

rotate text to be up and down....?

I need to have text rotated 270 degrees from the standard starting position.
How do I rotate the text in the VS.Net 2003 environment?
Thanks,
KevinNot sure if this is what you are looking for, but change the WritingMode
property for the text box to tb-rl (Top to Bottom, Right to Left)
Hope that helps

direction (i.e. You'd turn your head to the left to read it correctly)
"tb-rl" gives top-to-bottom, but there isn't a "bt-rl" option :(
Thanks,
Mike.

Rotate report 180 degrees

Is it possible to rotate a report 180 degrees? I need to create a report
that prints on a form and the report need to be rotated 180 degrees for it
to work.

As far as I know, there is not. Sorry that I could not be of greater
assistance.

I have had success in reproducing an entire form in the report
designer (with boxes, labels, and images), so that we did not need to
print to special paper stock.
If you need to print to specialized forms, I think what you are asking
is possible, but will require post-processing work that will take some
serious investigation and development work.
Two possible approaches -
1) Render the reports in Image format, then call an image processing
program to 'flip' and print the image. Obviously, this will be easier
if you are doing a one-page report, but it sounds like you might be,
from your description. You might be able to do this with native VB.NET
or C# capabilities, or with an imaging add-in.
Note that you can save your rendered report files to some kind of
output folder, and use that as an input folder for the post processing
operations.
If this is an infrequent need, you could manually flip the output
files in Paint. In any case there would be some trial and error to get
the registration correct.
2) Render the report to PDF (Acrobat), and then find an extension or
component that will let you flip the PDF pages. If you have the full
Acrobat application (not just the reader), you may be able to do this
with Acrobat. The advantage here would be smaller output files and
better output rendering.|||Isn't 180 degrees equivalent to printing it upside down?
Do you mean 90 degrees?
If so, surely you can simply change the PageSize in the report
properties from 8.5x11 to 11x8.5 and it will rotate it from portrait
to landscape...
You also need to change the InteractiveSize to correspond to the size
of the actual report width and then put 8.5 as the height.

Rotate fields

Hi folks,
Is there a way to rotate a field 90 degrees?
Thank's in advance,
Staffanyes check out the properties of the field there ll b a property like
DIRECTION (exactly name is not remebered) but that property helps
adjusting direction of the text in the textbox like left to right,right
to left, top to bottom etc check it ou|||Is there any documentation on the syntax for this?
I only see two options:
lr-tb
tb-lr
It seems that I am rotating the text Ok, but I just need it to be turned
180% degree the other way. Are there any docs on this? I've scoured the
forum but can't find any topics already on this.
Thank!

RaoIt does not appear to be so. From a quick search through BOL, looks
like horizontal or vertical (i.e. 90 degrees rotation) only.|||Thank you, i am hoping by editing Style Tag in xml code file.
