Hello,
I'd like to know if it is possible to insert rotated text into TableCell (like in the attached image - orange part of table).
I read many forums about this problem, found only one solution - https://www.telerik.com/forums/rotate-text-in-table-cell
The problem is, this custom class is implemented for Telerik.Windows libraries, I'm using Telerik.Winforms.
Thanks,
Martin.

Hi Martin,
This post is for a different library. I am afraid that this is not supported at the moment. I have added a feature request for this on your behalf. You can track its progress, subscribe to status changes, and add your comment to it here: RadRichTextEditor: Add support for vertical (rotated) text in TableCell. I have updated your Telerik points as well.
The only possible solution I can think of is to use the WPF RichTextBox and the shapes feature.
I want to apologize for the inconvenience this missing functionality is causing you.

Hi Dimitar,
Thank you for the response. I'm not very pleased with it, but there is nothing I can do.
Creating this particular functionality in RichTextBox is not an option, because there is a lot of code that would have to be rewritten.
Since I only needed vertical text in static table headers, which are not dynamically generated in code, I came to a "solution".. Creating headers as needed, saving them as individual images and then inserting them into cells. This solution is FAR from ideal, but the best I can get now.
Hopefully, one day the feature request will be implemented, and the table done properly.
Until then, thanks.
Martin.
