 TextBox with background rotation |

I was wondering if there is a way to rotate a textbox that has a rounded corner
background.
Here's the code I use to produce the chart named "4styleMulti-90.png":
Dim t As ChartDirector.TextBox = c.addText(xPos, yPos, partNames(i), "Arial", 8,
&H2C2C2C, Chart.Left, 90, False)
t.setPos(t.getLeftX() - (t.getWidth() / 2), t.getTopY() - 10) ' - (t.getHeight() / 2))
t.setBackground(&H80FFFFFF, &H80FFFFFF)
t.setRoundedCorners(5, -1, -1, -1)
This looks great, and works just fine, but some of the names overlap and are hard to read.
I was going to see how it looked with changing the textbox angle from 90 to 45. I thought
the background that is just a little larger than the text size would rotate also, but it
doesn't.
See the file named "4styleMulti-45.png" - the background stretches to fit the text at the
angle, instead of the background rotating with the text.
What I would like is the tight background behind the names, but rotated at 45 degrees.
Is that possible?
Thanks!

Hi Patrick,
The angle in addText only change the text angle inside the box, but not the box itself. For
your case, there is a method using CDML, but it does not have rounded corners. It is like:
Dim t As ChartDirector.TextBox = c.addText(xPos, yPos, "
<*block,bgcolor=80FFFFFF,angle=45,margin=3*>" & partNames(i) & "<*/*>", "Arial", 8,
&H2C2C2C, Chart.Left, 90, False)
Hope this can help.
Regards
