rotate object on front panel

How can I rotate objects on the Front Panel? For example, let the string Indicator vertical displayed on the panel.
 
Thanks.

For strings, specifically, there is a relatively easy way of doing this - if you right click the caption for any control, you can choose to rotate it. You can then change the caption using a property node (Caption.Text).

You can also write text in a picture control in different orientations.

For other controls, I think you can only really do this by using an invoke node to get an image of the control and then use a picture control to rotate and display that image.

BTW, rotated labels are usually very inconvenient for the user. If you have a space problem, you should consider using tabs instead.
