Unfortunately the way you're doing it is the best method. Usually the
orientation of the form is a function of the low-level driver software. This
can be controlled on Tablet PC systems for example but not for other types
of systems unless you can get a custom driver.

Odd question:
I have some Forms that I have to display rotated 90 degrees clockwise
(don't ask! :-)
Right now I'm doing it by hiding the Form offscreen, grabbing the DC,
rotating it and blitting it onto another Form's DC (well actually a
PictureBox).
Currently I have to handle all event forwarding myself.
Is there a better way to approach this?
