Re: Forcing uppercase in RichEdit
Catch the OnChar handler and do a SendMessage(WM_CHAR) from the OnChar
handler? Isn't that going to cause an infinite loop?
If the answer was in OnChar then why wouldn't this work?
OnChar(UINT nChar,....)
{
nChar = toupper(nChar);
CRichEditCtrl::OnChar(nChar,....);
}
But unfortunately that is not going to work. RichEdit ctrls handle their
characters differently than Edit controls.

subclass the control. Add an OnChar handler. If the character is
lower-case, convert it
to upper-case and do a SendMessage of WM_CHAR, and don't call the
superclass handler.

So does anyone have any ideas how I can implement case processing on a

Edit control? It sounds like I need an OnChar handler, but not sure how
to
do that with a resource created control.
Thanks.

I am doing this on an event basis so I will need to do it using
SetWindowLong. I noticed the ES_UPPERCASE constant is used in CEdit
controls
- will this also work with CRichEdit controls?
Thanks.

Either create the control with the ES_UPPERCASE style or use
SetWindowLong
to set.
m_Edit.SetWindowLong(GWL_STYLE,m_Edit.GetWindowLong(GWL_STYLE)|ES_UPPERCASE);

I have a dialog box that contains a RichEdit control that I need to
force
all
input characters to be uppercase. I tried using the following
call:
SendDlgItemMessage(ID_FIELDDB_TEXT_ET, EM_SETEDITSTYLE,
(WPARAM)SES_UPPERCASE, (LPARAM)TRUE);
but it doesn't seem to work.
Is this the correct way of setting this property, or am I missing
something?
Thanks.
