Visual Basic 6.0 Data Report how to rotate the print out.

[jorgeny]

I have my App in Visual Basic 6.0 and I need to rotate the print out to fit the label. Thanks in advance for your suggestions. I am attaching the screen capture.

I would need a little bit more information about what you are using to draw that label. Are you using a third-party control, or just the built-in drawing functions that come with .NET? If you are using the .NET drawing methods, you can call RotateTransform member of the Graphics object. Here is some docs: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dot...ramework-4.7.1

If you need more help, let me know.

@abeLuna, I am using Visual Basic 6.0 and also the tool DataReport that comes with Visual Basic 6.0. I don't see any option to rotate the label.

OK, I understand where you are with your problem. I looked up the methods and properties of the DataReport object and they don't have any methods to rotate the page. So I was wondering, what if you showed the Print Dialog box, would you be able to use that window to rotate the label before printing?

Unfortunately the printer don't rotate the content ( label) Just let me change from portrait to Horizontal, but this only change the paper but the content continues printing the same. Thanks.

What if you go to the report designer and click on the labels you have placed on that form, and then go to properties. Is there a property on that control that allows you to position or rotate it?
