rotate caption programmatically

[Been bitten by LabVIEW]

Is there a way of rotating a caption programmatically in LabVIEW 7.0?  Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

Sanks.

If memory serves me correctly, the only way to get that effect in LV 7.0 was to use a picture control instead of the cation and to use the "draw Text at point"

If you click on the control or indicator and create a property node you can select the caption position like in the following picture.

aeastet's solution will allow you to set the position of the caption, but not the angle of rotation.

I just looked in LV 8.6 and saw no properties for angle, so it appears you still need to use create a separate picture control as Ben suggested...

One possibility could be using a rotated font (of unispaced kind) and put linefeeds between all characters.

Hi aeastet,

Looks like "Vertical Arrangement" might be what I am looking for, but given the Icon, it looks like you are using LV 8.x.  Thanks anyway.

Thanks F. Schubert,

But not what I'm looking for.  Want to auto replace Text decorations with a control that I can give a label to.  Thanks anyway.

Thanks Ben, quite the PITA. 😞  I will have to determine if I want to use this. Thanks again.
