Q: Character Casing in a ComboBox

Hi!

Is it possible to enable Charater Casing in a ComboBox, if, how?

As of now i am using KeyUp event to make sure that the char entered is
Uppercase.

Regards

You can enable the OS support for this by deriving your own control class
from Combobox, override the CreateParams property and include the
CBS_UPPERCASE style flag.
