I'd prefer to convert each alpha character to upper case as it's
typed or should I do an LUC in an exit EEP? Any suggestions?
I've checked the FTE article from 2005 but that's for formatting
phone #'s, ZIPs & SSNs, not case conversion.
Doug,
Did you know that you can use the following Format Mask as Effects
under Variable Edit Properties?
">aaaaaaaaaa"
Here's how:
Form Designer | Variable Edit Control | Properties | Effects
Format Mask: >aaaaaaaaaa
If a ">" character appears in the mask, all characters that follow
are in uppercase until the end of the mask or until a < character
is encountered.
The "a" character permits an alphanumeric character in this position,
but doesn't require it.
Number (count) of "n" defines the number of allowed characters.
In the example above, up to 10 characters are allowed in a defined
variable edit control.
That's all there is to it!
Very Best R:egards,
Razzak.
