AttrText orientation

Question

Hello EW Team,

I am currently working in EW Pro 9.20. I am working with an application with 2 modes, one horizontal and one vertical. I need to use an AttrText, and I would like to know what would be the best way to have the same behaviour as the "Orientation" property of the Views::Text class?

Have a nice day,
Velas

Hello Velas,

Attributed Text view does not support the possibility to rotate its content. Following could be the possibility alternative approaches:

Option 1: If the vertical/horizontal mode is static, it does not change at the runtime, you could eventually achieve the desired behavior by configuring the ScreenOrientation attribute for the entire application.

Option 2: If the orientation changes at the runtime, put the Attributed Text view inside a component, and display the content of this component by using the Warp Group view. With Warp Group view you can rotate, or even reshape the displayed content.

Best regards
