the Change event passes no input to the sub (and anyway it would not be
passed in $_, @_ is used for that...).
you can't grab the single character being entered, only the changed
whole text:
sub txtStatus_Change {
print $Window->txtStatus->Text();
}

create your Textfield with the: -uppercase => 1 option (introduced in
build 340, not yet documented, sorry :-).
these are the undocumented option for Textfields (and RichEdits):
-uppercase => 0/1
-lowercase => 0/1
-number => 0/1 # textfield accepts only digits
-autohscroll => 0/1
-autovscroll => 0/1
