The CExtTabMdiWnd __ETWS_ORIENT_LEFT option places the MDI window tab vertically along the left side of the client area. Is there an option to flip the text orientation by 180 degress so that when the tab is on the left (with __ETWS_ORIENT_LEFT) the base of the text is on the right side rather than left side of the tab? This would make it easier for the user to read, in my opinion and in the opinion of my beta testers.

Cheers

Just apply the __ETWS_INVERT_VERT_FONT style to change the direction of the vertical font in any CExtTabWnd-derived class by 180 degrees.

Thanks! __ETWS_INVERT_VERT_FONT was what I needed. I should have found it in the header file, but somehow I missed it.
