Re: CharacterCasing property of TextBox

Sorry I forgot to mention I tried setting to Textbox1 Chatacter casing with both Upper and Lower as well.

The input text was converted as expected to Upper or Lower.

Re: CharacterCasing property of TextBox

Jay:

I think you're still not completely understanding the issue. Sure, the text shows correctly in the text boxes but when you attempt to use it in your program, is the text from TextBox2 in uppercase or is it still "asdFGH"? It should be "ASDFGH".

Try this, after your line of setting "TextBox2.Text = TextBox1.Text", add "MessageBox.Show(TextBox2.Text)". In previous versions, you would see "ASDFGH". In this version, it shows "asdFGH".

Re: CharacterCasing property of TextBox

Hi Dave,

OK now I understand the problem. The messagebox shows "asdFGH". A little buglet!

Its easy to work around for the time being by checking the character Casing setting then converting to Upper or Lower if required

Sorry I am bit dense tonight, it is past my bedtime.

Re: CharacterCasing property of TextBox

I realize it's easy to work around. Problem is, I've used CharacterCasing extensively in my application and have come to rely on it. Now, I have to go into my code everywhere I use the value on textboxes and tack on ".Upper" or ".Lower" (as appropriate). Might seem like a "buglet" to you but to me, it essentially nullifies the use the CharacterCasing property - a property I've come to rely upon.
