Can Boolean text direction be changed? Labview 8

Is it possible to set the text direction for the text in a Boolean control? The properties for Booleans includes vertical arrangement for Boolean Text. When I try to set this property (to any of the available options) I get Error 1054 (the specified object was not found). It lets me set the text direction for the label just fine, but that's not what I want.

Hello GS,
 
I filed a report on this behavior to the development team for further investigation.  Thanks for the feedback!

This was reported to R&D (# 3TP02RD1) and was fixed in LabVIEW 8.2. Note, our documentation states that this only works for labels, captions, and free labels.  So, we now return a more descriptive error code: 

"Error 1453 ...
Possible reason(s):
LabVIEW:  You may only set the vertical arrangement on a label, caption or free label."

I hope this helps,
