 Rotating Text Box in VB5

How do I rotate a text box on a form in VB5?  Eg: I want to display a text
box that is tilted to the left 30 degrees or something.

Thanks!

I don't think you'll be able to do that... You might draw some lines on a
form and set colors, etc to make it look like a textbox.. but rotating an
actual textbox isn't possible (AFAIK anyway).. If you did draw the 30 deg
box, set the colors, etc, you may be able to get it to look and act alot
like a textbox with enough work and the sample below..
