Thanks Tracy. I have tried both ways and they work as long as you are not resizing the parent canvas. But my requirement is that the parent canvas needs to be resizable. In simple language all I am looking for is a vertical label at the left side of the parent canvas that will stay at the vertical center even if the parent canvas resizes.
