Rotate screen

[steve]

I have a tablet PC and I write a application on this tablet PC, I would like to rotate the screen from portrait<->landscape mode(or 90/180/270 degree), what should I do?

I only find the code for pocket PC 2003 upgrade.

private void SetOrientation(ScreenOrientation so)
{

// Set the requested orientation.
SystemSettings.ScreenOrientation.Angle0 = so;
this.statusBar1.Text = SystemSettings.ScreenOrientation.ToString();
}

Hi steve,

Try this:

private void Form1_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
int scrRectHeight = Screen.PrimaryScreen.Bounds.Height;
int scrRectWidth = Screen.PrimaryScreen.Bounds.Width;

if (scrRectHeight > scrRectWidth)
{
MessageBox.Show("Run in portrait.");
}
else
{
MessageBox.Show("Run in landscape.");
}

Hope it helps. Correct me if i am wrong.

Chua Wen,

Thanks for the quick response, my question is how to rotate the tablet pc screen,
not detect the screen is portrait or landscape.

Hi steve,

Well since you already have the values of scrRectHeight and scrRectWidth, you can assume it as x an y.

There is a button, when you click, it actually execute this code:

private void button1_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
this.ClientSize = new System.Drawing.Size(scrRectWidth, scrRectWidth);
}

You can switch between both, maybe 1 button or separate buttons.

Hope this is what you want! Good Luck again!
