writing text backward 1

[yeller2]

I want to take a string in a text box and flip it so that "hi" becomes "ih" only the h with be shown looking the other way. If you don't know what I mean, the "h" will look like a "d" without the bottom of it's "o".

Hopefully this makes sense. I've looked for a way to do this using GDI+ but do not see one - is this possible?

You can do it with GDI+ fairly easily...

First create the image from the string. A simple way to do that would be

Bitmap bmp = new Bitmap(500,20); //create an image 500px by 20px

Graphics g = Graphics.FromBitmap(bmp); //I think this is the call

bmp.RotateFlip(RotateFlipType.RotateNoneFlipY); //Flip the image over the Y Axis |

pictureBox1.Image = bmp; //Your image will show up reversed



This is all done off the top of my head so don't expect it to compile. Check out this site for doing transformations

Another option would be to try to find a "backwords" font and just reverse the string and use it with the backwords font.

Thanks a lot for the suggestion - just what I needed! I didn't realize you could play with the graphics for a bitmap.
