Does anyone know how to make text go around a circle? I believe that RichEdit version 4 has the ability to specify an angle for text, so that might be helpful. But I don't know what version of RichEdit FireFly supports. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Robert, I never tried this, but with the Powerbasic font statements you can specify a font angle. See FONT NEW, escapement. The other problem is to define where to print what.

Hi Wilko,
Thanks for the tip. I tried it but have not been able to get FF to recognize the new font and assign it to the Rich Edit control.
Robert
Of course not. FONT is a DDT only thingy.
Robert, I have no experience with the Rich Edit Control but I doubt whether that is going to work. Without knowing the rest of your program, wouldn't it be better to draw the text using GDI-commands? In that case, you can even use the SET FONT if you like.

That's too complicated for me. I just want to be able to print text around a circle. I thought that maybe someone had already done it.
Thanks any way.

Hi
a sample done in vb6 using draw with gdi, found some years ago on net
i've tried it, it works , can be translated to freebasic or powerbasic...
Thank you Marc. I will try it and if I can make it work, I will post a FF example.
