Vertical slider with ticker captions

I am currently trying to get a custom vertical ticker slider as well as the labels in those tickers with the corresponding values. I have already found some interesting code for the horizontal slider on the internet that I am currently using in my solution and looks like this:

XAML:

<ControlTemplate x:Key="HorizontalSlider" TargetType="{x:Type Slider}">
        <Grid>
            <Grid.RowDefinitions>
                <RowDefinition Height="Auto"/>
                <RowDefinition Height="Auto" MinHeight="{TemplateBinding Slider.MinHeight}"/>
                <RowDefinition Height="Auto"/>
            </Grid.RowDefinitions>
            <local:MyTickBar Margin="5,0,10,0" x:Name="TopTick" SnapsToDevicePixels="True" Placement="Top" Fill="{StaticResource GlyphDarkBrush}" Height="5"  />
            <Border Name="TrackBackground" Margin="0" CornerRadius="2" Height="4" Grid.Row="1" Background="{StaticResource GlyphLightBrush}" BorderBrush="{StaticResource ButtonNormal}" BorderThickness="1" />
            <Track Grid.Row="1" Name="PART_Track">
                <Track.DecreaseRepeatButton>
                    <RepeatButton Style="{StaticResource SliderButtonStyle}" Command="Slider.DecreaseLarge" />
                </Track.DecreaseRepeatButton>
                <Track.Thumb>
                    <Thumb Style="{StaticResource SliderThumbStyle}" />
                </Track.Thumb>
                <Track.IncreaseRepeatButton>
                    <RepeatButton Style="{StaticResource SliderButtonStyle}" Command="Slider.IncreaseLarge" /> 
                </Track.IncreaseRepeatButton>
            </Track>
            <TickBar Name="BottomTick" SnapsToDevicePixels="True" Grid.Row="2" Fill="Black" Placement="Bottom" Height="10" Visibility="Collapsed" />
        </Grid>
        <ControlTemplate.Triggers>
            <Trigger Property="TickPlacement" Value="TopLeft">
                <Setter TargetName="TopTick" Property="Visibility" Value="Visible"/>
            </Trigger>
            <Trigger Property="TickPlacement" Value="BottomRight">
                <Setter TargetName="BottomTick" Property="Visibility" Value="Visible"/>
            </Trigger>
            <Trigger Property="TickPlacement" Value="Both">
                <Setter TargetName="TopTick" Property="Visibility" Value="Visible"/>
                <Setter TargetName="BottomTick" Property="Visibility" Value="Visible"/>
            </Trigger>
        </ControlTemplate.Triggers>
    </ControlTemplate>

      

        
        
        
      

    

Since MyTickBar is a class, defined as:

public class MyTickBar : TickBar
{
    protected override void OnRender(DrawingContext dc)
    {
        Size size = new Size(base.ActualWidth, base.ActualHeight);
        int tickCount = (int)((this.Maximum - this.Minimum) / this.TickFrequency) + 1;
        if ((this.Maximum - this.Minimum) % this.TickFrequency == 0)
            tickCount -= 1;
        Double tickFrequencySize;
        // Calculate tick setting
        tickFrequencySize = (size.Width * this.TickFrequency / (this.Maximum - this.Minimum));
        string text = "";
        FormattedText formattedText = null;
        double num = this.Maximum - this.Minimum;
        int i = 0;
        // Draw each tick text
        for (i = 0; i <= tickCount; i++)
        {
            text = Convert.ToString(Convert.ToInt32(this.Minimum + this.TickFrequency * i), 10);
            formattedText = new FormattedText(text, CultureInfo.GetCultureInfo("en-us"), FlowDirection.LeftToRight, new Typeface("Verdana"), 16, Brushes.Black);
            dc.DrawText(formattedText, new Point((tickFrequencySize * i), 30));
        }
    }
}

      

        
        
        
      

    

This works great with a horizontal slider, but when I pretend to be vertical I tried two different solutions with no success. Firstly, there was a need to create a similar XAML for the vertical slider, but since I am fairly new to WPF, I was unable to reach the intended solution (I basically changed the row and height properties to column and from, but probably a little more complicated than that ). And my second attempt was to use

<Slider.LayoutTransform>
            <RotateTransform Angle="270"/>
        </Slider.LayoutTransform>

      

        
        
        
      

    

on a fake slider, getting the slider with labels in the wrong position, as shown in the following image: http://s22.postimage.org/sophl10wh/Incorrect.jpg

I tried to apply rotation to the DrawingContext MyTicker, but it rotates the whole ticker, not the value labels. So my question is, how can I get a fake solution? Either by making the necessary changes to the new XAML for the custom vertical slider, or by rotating the labels in the second solution.
