How can I rotate a textbox 90 degrees

I am working on an app that uses a large keyboard on the screen to eliminate the need for a stylus. In order to make the keyboard large enough, the user is required to turn the device sideways (landscape.) The rest of the application is run in portrait mode. I would like a textbox to show what is typed on the keyboard, but cannot figure out how to turn it 90 degrees. Any ideas?

I am not good with using libraries. I tried to access the Help page but I get this error:

Navigation to the webpage was canceled.


Also when I try to run ControlsExDeviceDemo I get this error:

An error occurred on sub_main.app_start.

Line number: 14

dtp.New1("Form1",45,40,145)
Error description:
Syntax error (missing parameter).
Continue?

When I continue, I just keep getting various errors.

I am running V6.9.

Right click on the help file and choose properties - there is probably an unblock option somewhere near the lower right. This is a Windows security measure for downloaded files.

Sorry, a typo seems to have crept into the posted demo that isn't in my master copy :confused:

Try using the attached version till I update the library archive. Note that ico_news.ico is required on the device or you will get an error.
