[RESOLVED] Formatting...

Hi,

Is there any way to change the words into "Sentence Case" as it can be done MS Office. Please let me know.

Regards,

you might want to look more into these three:

vbUppercase
vbLowercase
vbPropercase

VB Code:

Private Sub Form_Load()
    Debug.Print SentenceCase("this is a test. is it a test? yes it is! a test.")
End Sub
 
Private Function SentenceCase(ByVal sText As String)
    Dim b() As Byte, N As Long, bChange As Boolean
    b = sText
    bChange = True
    For N = 0 To UBound(b) Step 2
        Select Case b(N)
            Case 33, 46, 58, 63  ' !.:?
                bChange = True
            Case 97 To 122 ' a-z
                If bChange Then b(N) = b(N) - 32: bChange = False
            Case 32
            Case Else
                bChange = False
        End Select
    Next N
    SentenceCase = b
End Function

Hi,

Thanks. It is pretty nice. Now what I need is: when I enter a sentence in a textbox I will click on cmdSave button. So that the sentence entered should be saved in a Sentence Case format. Where should I call this function & what should be the line to call it?

Call SentenceCase ....> when I am using this line in cmdSave button's code, getting an error "argument not optional"

I have pasted the function code on the form. And calling it in cmdSave code.

well, first off, I've missed something in my code - this function should be like this:

VB Code:

Private Function SentenceCase(ByVal sText As String) [B]As String[/B]

well how you use the function is up to you. It accepts the text you want to change and outputs the changed version.e.g.:

VB Code:

Private Sub Command1_Click()
    Text1.Text = SentenceCase(Text1.Text)
End Sub

Another way of doing that:
