Force Text entry in Upper Case

[Venkatesh Venkatasubramanian]

Hi,

I am using Grid 4.1. I have a editable combobox in the grid. I would like to force Upper case entry in the combo box. Even if the user types in lower case, it should be rendered as Upper Case in real time.

Can you please let me know if this is possible.

Thanks!

Hi Venkatesh,

You would have to derive the combobox cell renderer and override the OnKeyPress method. Please try the attached sample and let me know if this helps.

public class MyComboBoxCellRenderer : GridComboBoxCellRenderer
{
public MyComboBoxCellRenderer(GridControlBase grid, GridCellModelBase cellModel)
: base(grid, cellModel)
{ this.SupportsFocusControl = true; }

protected override void OnKeyPress(KeyPressEventArgs e)
{
char c = e.KeyChar.ToString().ToUpper()[0];
KeyPressEventArgs arg = new KeyPressEventArgs(c);
base.OnKeyPress (arg);
e.Handled = true;
}
}

Here is a sample.
