Forcing Case in Textbox

[Sidney Mark Croy]

Greetings

In VB6 you could change case to upper or lower within the KeyPress event
handling. How do you accomplish that within VB.NET?

Thank you

Hi,

The textbox has a charactercasing property. You can select upper,
lower, or none.

txtName.CharacterCasing = CharacterCasing.Upper

txtName.CharacterCasing = CharacterCasing.Lower

Also, you can use the string convert function

TextBox1.text = StrConv(TextBox1.text, VbStrConv.LowerCase)

There are a number of usefull conversions such as VbStrConv.ProperCase which
can be used also.

You could simply use the CharacterCasing property of the textbox.

That's the "preferred" way.

Yes you could. BUT, there are only three variants on character casing.
Normal, Upper and Lower. My solution allows for more variations such as
proper case.

I think we had this discussion once before ;-)

ACK. That's a limitation, but very often we don't need more that that.
