Font orientation not working in sfDataGrid (Winforms)

[Richard Thomas]

I've tried to set the Font orientation (to 270)  in the sfDataGrid, and none have worked.   Is this a known deficiency, and when is it expected to be implemented.  I'm after the header text, but the normal cell text seems to have the same issue.

Here is a snipet of the code I was running:

        private void sfDataGrid_AutoGeneratingColumn(object sender, Syncfusion.WinForms.DataGrid.Events.AutoGeneratingColumnArgs e)
        {

            e.Column.AllowHeaderTextWrapping = true;

            if (e.Column.HeaderText == "Product Name")
            {
                e.Column.HeaderStyle.Font.Orientation = 270;
            }

        }

        private void sfDataGrid_DrawCell(object sender, Syncfusion.WinForms.DataGrid.Events.DrawCellEventArgs e)
        {
            if ((e.DataRow as DataRowBase).RowType == RowType.StackedHeaderRow)
            {
                if (e.CellValue.ToString() == "Product Name")
                {
                    e.Style.Font.Orientation = 270;
                }
            }
            if ((e.DataRow as DataRowBase).RowType == RowType.HeaderRow)
            {
                if (e.CellValue.ToString() == "Order Date")
                {
                    e.Style.Font.Orientation = 270;
                }
            }
        }

Hi Richard, 

Thanks for contacting Syncfusion support. 

Currently we don’t have support to set the Orientation of a string using Font property. Currently we don’t have any immediate plan for implementing this support in SfDataGrid. We will consider your request and this support will be implemented in any of our upcoming release. 

Please let us know if you have any concerns.
