specific examples would be most usefull.

Hi,

It would probably be quite easy to inherit from Button and do the drawing in
an OnPaint override with GDI+. You would have to ensure that the size of the
button matched that of the text, though.

You would need a separate property for the text, and keep the base's Text
property as an empty string so it doesn't display it's own text.

Click to expand...

This is not supported by the button control directly, nevertheless you can
create an ownerdrawn button (see samples on http://www.codeproject.org/)
that paints the vertical text itself:

\\\
e.Graphics.RotateTransform(90) ' 90 degree.
e.Graphics.DrawString("Hello World!", Me.Font, Brushes.Blue, 100, -100)
///
