Column Header - Vertical Text

[neil]

Hi

I have tried to rotate the text in the column text as per your instructions on the web but it doesn't work, what am I doing wrong (VB Net)

 

     RadGridView1.ViewCellFormatting += radGridView1_ViewCellFormatting()
        RadGridView1.TableElement.TableHeaderHeight = 90
        RadGridView1.Rows(0).IsSelected = True

function is

 Private Sub radGridView1_ViewCellFormatting(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As CellFormattingEventArgs)
        Dim element As GridHeaderCellElement = TryCast(sender, GridHeaderCellElement)
        If element IsNot Nothing Then
            element.TextOrientation = Orientation.Vertical
            element.FlipText = True
        End If
    End Sub

Hello Neil,

As I can see from your second post you have already found out an appropriate solution to your problem. This is the right way. In order to specify the orientation of the column header cells, you should access the GridHeaderCellElement and set its TextOrientation property.

Do not hesitate to contact us if you have other questions.
