Rotate header of the table control by 90 degrees.

[nik35324]

Is there a possible way to rotate the header of the table control by 90° same like changing the label of any control or indicator  programmatically? Likewise rotating the headers in excel.

Unfortunately, no.

There is no native way to do this, but depending on how much time you want to spend you could probably do this with a combination of an array of picture controls, which move with the table, and lay over top the header to look like it is part of the header.

Something like that?

Those are string controls resized with the background set to transparent and the caption shown rotated and placed over the control body floated over the column headder row.

Not super elegant, but if you need to go there  it can be done

Soon this (and much more) will be possible

@ Jeff·Þ·Bohrer : Yes this what I need. Would you please upload the example

Here's an example of what I was thinking.  Of course with an array of picture controls that means all columns would need to be the same width.  Of course if you don't have horizontal scrolling you could get away with fixed images.

Now that I think about it what is wrong with just some string comments on the front panel of the column text doesn't change, and no horizontal scrolling.?

@Hooovahh : Yes, exactly this is my next question

You can't really get a ref to the comments and set them dynamically or change their possition programatically  But if the headders are static that is a relativly simple implementation.  Right about then the spec will change to make them dynamic

@ Jeff·Þ·Bohrer :  I have 4 different cases where the headers vary. As you said I make this static for each case. I would even disable the scrolling bar. What do you say?
