Is this possible?

[Boris]

This is not life or death but I was wondering if it was possible to control the orientation of individual ticks on a RadSlider.  (The RadSlider itself has to be oriented horizontally.)

For example, I have one displaying a range of years so instead of displaying '2012' I'd like it to display
2
0
1
2.

Thanks.

Hi,

This behavior could be achieved by adding <br /> tags after each character inside the Text property value of the RadSliderItem in the following way:

<telerik:RadSlider ID="RadSlider_Items" runat="server" ItemType="item" Width="350px"
      Height="70px"  TrackPosition="TopLeft" >
      <Items>
          <telerik:RadSliderItem Text="2<br />0<br />1<br />2" Value="1" CssClass="verticaltext"></telerik:RadSliderItem>
          <telerik:RadSliderItem Text="2<br />0<br />1<br />3" Value="1" CssClass="verticaltext"></telerik:RadSliderItem>
      </Items>
  </telerik:RadSlider>

Excuse me but I have very little CSS experience. 

Simply inserting <br/>s does not work.  I've looked through every single slider demo and I cannot find this 'verticaltext' class. Where is it documented?

For that matter is there any place in your documentation that clearly documents Telerik CSS?  So far I can't find it.

Hi,

You can align the text using br tags without using the CSS class. Attached is the screenshot.
aspx:

<telerik:RadSlider ID="RadSlider_Items" runat="server" ItemType="item" Width="350px"
            Height="70px" TrackPosition="TopLeft">
            <Items>
                <telerik:RadSliderItem Text="2<br />0<br />1<br />2" Value="1"></telerik:RadSliderItem>
                <telerik:RadSliderItem Text="2<br />0<br />1<br />3" Value="1"></telerik:RadSliderItem>
            </Items>
        </telerik:RadSlider>

Thanks,
Princy.

Thanks.  After a bit of hacking I was able to get it work.

(Then we decided there wasn't enough room for vertically oriented labels....)
