Nope. In PalmOS 5.x the event structure is a 'shadow' structure, not
the real event used by the system. You will probably have to handle the
input to the field yourself. Look at the Fld* functions in the
reference ...

Subject: Converting from lowercase to uppercase during a keydown event
My ham radio logging software has a setting that causes all user
input to be
converted to uppercase and displayed that way in the input field as
the user
enters it. In other words, regardless of the graffiti shift state, if
the
user enters 'a' using graffiti, it will appear as 'A' in the input
field.
This was simple enough to do for Palm OS 4.1 and earlier--I just
handled the
KeyDownEvent, converted from lowercase to uppercase, and then made
sure I
left handled = false so the system would handle the input. No matter
what I
do for Palm OS 5.x, though, the character remains lowercase when it
appears
in the input field. I've tried using TxtTransliterate and verified
that the
character conversion took place. I also tried brute force:
if (event->data.keyDown.chr == chrSmall_A) {
event->data.keyDown.chr = chrCapital_A;
FrmCustomAlert(InfoAlert,
"Converted!", "", "");
}
In each case, debug statements indicated that the logic was being
executed
and the character was converted, but in 5.x the lowercase character
still
appeared in the input field. What am I missing?
