e.KeyChar \ convert text toUpper?

[loiter]

Hello,

 

I am trying to change the text to upper case as the user types (it is a textbox that holds state abbrev). I read where e.keychar can do this but haven't been able to find examples. Would anyone have any plz?

 

thanks !

One way is to use the Leave or Validating event..

   Private Sub TextBox2_Leave(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) Handles TextBox2.Leave
       TextBox2.Text = TextBox2.Text.ToUpper
   End Sub

Of course, this can also be done by using the .CharacterCasing property of the textbox (if it is the standard tb, that is). <g>
