I need to ensure that all characters are forced to upper case for nearly all data entry forms in a VB.NET app. Thought I'd try to do it via the KeyPress event, but since arguments are passed by value, not reference, I'm stuck.
In VB6, the ASCII keycode is passed by ref as an integer, and it was easy to ensure upper case via the following code: Sub KeytoUCase(intKey As Integer) Dim strChar As String strChar = Chr(intKey) intKey = Asc(UCase(strChar)) End VB.NET's event signature is this: Private Sub frm_KeyPress(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs) Handles MyBase.KeyPress e.Handled = True 'READ ONLY!! 'e.KeyChar = basGUIUtils.KeytoUCase(AscW(e.KeyChar)) End Sub Any thoughts on how to do this, without having to touch every individual control? ------------------------ Dan Souk Finna Technologies, Inc. 2410 Lindsay Ct West Chicago, IL 60185 +1-630-762-8257 phone +1-630-762-8258 fax http://www.finnatech.com You can read messages from the DOTNET archive, unsubscribe from DOTNET, or subscribe to other DevelopMentor lists at http://discuss.develop.com.
