How to make a ComboBox to display characters only in Upper or Lower Case as
you type?
I was trying to override OnKeyDown and OnKeyPress but coudn't figure it
out. The problem is that in OnKeyPress
new key value is not writed in the Combo.Text until the event is executed. 3 3102
Hi UmmagummA,
What you do in the KeyPressEvent is set e.Handled = true to prevent the
characters ever reaching the ComboBox. Instead add a character of your
own.
Something like this might work for you, given a ComboBox b and its
KeyPressEvent b_Press
private void b_Press(object sender, KeyPressEventAr gs e)
{
if(Char.IsLette r(e.KeyChar))
{
e.Handled = true;
string s = e.KeyChar.ToStr ing();
b.Text += s.ToUpper();
b.SelectionStar t = b.Text.Length;
}
}

Even better, using Char.ToUpper
if(Char.IsLette r(e.KeyChar))
{
e.Handled = true;
b.Text += Char.ToUpper(e. KeyChar);
b.SelectionStar t = b.Text.Length;
}

Happy Coding!

I'm trying to use a textbox to search and display records as each letter is
typed in - similar to the behavior of a combo box. But for some reason I
can't seem to get the wildcard search character to work in my query. In the
example below, I have several records in tblEntity that begin with "m" and
"mi" and one record with the company name "microsoft". I get a match only
when I type in the full string "microsoft".
Why no match before...

Heello, I'm using Access 2000. I have a form with a combo box that has

is unbound to a record like the rest of the form fields. I get a number
ID (12345) as the value when I choose it. I use code to save my record
and I have no problem with that.
The issue comes when I need to add a character (a letter B,M, or E, to
the number selected in the combo box so instead of...

I am having a hell of a time trying to set this menu system up. Here's
what I'm trying to do.
Combo Box One; is populated by names under properties "row source"
"Phase 1" through "Phase 10" (there are 10 Phases I want to sort from)
Once the phase has been selected a second combo box would populate.

Hi All,
I'm trying to write a small sub/function to replace some (invalid) character
in a combo box, or may be even text box. For example, I have several combo
boxes that allows user to select a time value, i.e. 21:30, however I also
want to allow them to enter a time, as a result I want to replace comma,
fullstop etc with a colon ":". I've done this in VB6 keypress event,
however with the "sender", "e" in .net I'm a bit lost... I...

The text in my combo box is longer than the control can show, when I click on
the down arrow, I can see the whole text, but when I select one of the items,
the text box of the combo box shows the end of the text. Due to limited room
I can not expanded the combo box control, so I want to show the front of the
text and not the default back of the text when a user selects a value.
Currently the user selects from the combo box, then has to...

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
