AutoHideWindow image/text rotation

Hi Yuji,

Yes you can really control almost how anything renders in UIStudio. In this scenario you'd want to create a custom DockRenderer that inherits one of our built-in ones. Then you'd override the appropriate methods to measure/render the auto-hide tab portion. You can then assign this to your DockManager.Renderer property for a single instance or apply the renderer to the global renderer manager to make it the global default. I believe there's a documentation topic that talks about the renderer manager.

Thank you for reply.
The custom DockRenderer can rotate image in DrawAutoHideTab override method. I want to draw rotated text on AutoHideTab base drawing (border, backgroundfill, margin...), but I don't know what DockManager how to draw thats. Please tell me.

Yuji,

To draw vertical text we use our DrawingHelper.DrawString method in the Shared Library. If you pass it a StringFormat created by DrawingHelper.GetStringFormat that has a vertical parameter of true, it should render vertically.

thanks for your support.
but it is not my solution. In english, vertical font drawing is correct, but japanese font is not. Please look this capture image.
I want to draw like VS2005. I think the first step is UIStudio drawing implement in override DrawAutoHideTab(). Please tell me how to draw base drawing of AutoHideTab without text.

I see what you mean. I'll email you the renderer code for that method so you can modify it as needed.

Thank you!
I modified text drawing process. It seems to work ok.
