Cube #1 / 7	Another Simple Question: Formatting In a form I have a textbox say txtSerial, how can I force the letters in txtSerial to all turn to CAPITAL LETTERS while the use is typing or on the LostFocus event. Thanks in advance

Trevor W. Schad #2 / 7	Another Simple Question: Formatting txtSerial.Text = UCase(txtSerial.Text) If you want it to do that while the user is typing, put it in the Change event. If you want it to do that when the user is "finished" typing, put it in the LostFocus event. HTH. -Trevor Quote: > In a form I have a textbox say txtSerial, how can I force the letters in > txtSerial to all turn to CAPITAL LETTERS while the use is typing or on the > LostFocus event. > Thanks in advance

Egbert Niero #3 / 7	Another Simple Question: Formatting use the on_keypress event. It is ascii format so it sucks for unicode characters but it works better than the on_change event... -- Egbert Nierop Session management for webfarms: http://www.nieropwebconsult.nl/asp_session_manager.htm Quote: > In a form I have a textbox say txtSerial, how can I force the letters in > txtSerial to all turn to CAPITAL LETTERS while the use is typing or on the > LostFocus event. > Thanks in advance

Trevor W. Schad #4 / 7	Another Simple Question: Formatting The problem with the KeyPress event is that it does not handle code that the user pastes (via Ctrl-V) into the textbox. The Change event will handle that kind of input. -Trevor Quote: > use the on_keypress event.

Tim Rud #6 / 7	Another Simple Question: Formatting You can manipulate textbox entry in a couple of ways: 1) Putz around with UCase$ and LostFocus. (yuck) - or - 2) Do it the right way using the built-in capabilities of the control.
