lowercase to uppercase

[atesh]

whats the code at the keypress event thatll make a pressed lowercase letter uppercase. here is what tried, which obviously doesnt work but you get the idea:

    Private Sub TextBox_KeyPress(ByVal sender As Object, _
ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs) Handles TextBox.KeyPress
        If e.KeyChar.IsLower(e.KeyChar) Then e.KeyChar = e.KeyChar.ToUpper(e.KeyChar)
    End Sub

Store the char in a seperate variable, then uppercase it.

heres what i did which works:

        If e.KeyChar.IsLower(e.KeyChar) Then
            e.Handled = True
            TextBox.Text &= e.KeyChar.ToUpper(e.KeyChar)
            SendKeys.Send("{END}")
        End If

The pressing END key is so the caret is at the end of the textbox instead of the start.

You can also set the text box properties to upper case then all characters appear in the box will be upper. You dont have to manually convert them .

You shouldnt simply concatenate the key pressed, since the caret could be in the middle of the textbox. Set the CharacterCasing property to Upper, as that will handle pasting text as well.
