Windows Mobile - Way to invert compact framework controls

I have a screen in my windows mobile app that I is intended for another person than the user to look at and interact with (it is a signature screen).

There is a few edit boxes and such on that screen. Is there any way to make them display upside down?

If so I would love to hear how. Thanks!

+1  A: 

Are the controls (except the signature) purely for viewing (i.e. interaction is not needed)? If so, I'd be inclined to just take a screen shot, rotate that bitmap, draw it to the Form's background and then put the signature control on top of that.

I will try to give that a go and see if it will work

Alas, OnPaintBackground is not supported in the compact framework. :(

No, OnPaintBackground certain *is* supported. I use it all the time. You're overriding it in the Form, right?

You are right. I was looking for it as an event. My bad. I probably should have used `SystemSettings.ScreenOrientation = ScreenOrientation.Angle180;` for this. But I did not know about it till I was almost done. Now that it is done, this way lets the main user keep the menu and title bar facing them, so it is a bit better. Thanks for the help (on this and other questions).
