[Solved] UpperCase data columun?

[Alfa]

Hi,

Can i set formatting for DataColumn\Textbox type columns, so that whatever is type in by user get changed in Upper\Lower case?

My application require it be real-time, not on CellEditEnded event and my column has to fix length.

Thanks,

The example gave me the idea how to proceed.

But have you tested the example,

I am getting reverse string in textbox, i.e. 

when i type  "how are you?"

I get "?UO YER AWOH"

and it is because after everyKeyUp\Down the cursor get set at the begining of the textbox.

How do you handle that?

and

What kind of ChildrenOfType<???> i should set, if i want to apply same logic to ComboBox, DateTime and Checkbox type of column.

Hello Alfa,

 Indeed you are correct. I have modified the attached project to work correctly.

About the rest of the columns - their data appearance can be changed using IValue Converter

ComboBox - in edit mode you select from list rather writing text

Checkbox - edit checkbox state rather than text

DateTime - ChildrenOfType<TextBox> will work for this (see the sample application)

Hope this helps.

Kind regards,

Thanks

Do we need to subscribe both KeyUp and KeyDown as you have done in sample application?

Another issue, I can only append the string, if I move cursor anywhere in the string, it comes back to the end.

Are you able to move cursor, say next to J, and make "John" to "J1ohn" ?

Hi Alfa,

You need to subscribe to both on KeyDown and KeyUp to handle the case when user want to type strings like "00000" by holding the key down.

I have modified the example demonstrating how the cursor position can be handled.
