VB.NET Proper Case

[martialdc]

I use this code so that the text of the TextBox1 will change to Proper Case;

Private Sub TextBox1_TextChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles TextBox1.TextChanged
TextBox1.Text = StrConv(TextBox1.Text, VbStrConv.ProperCase)
SendKeys.Send("{End}")
End Sub

But the problem of this code, When I type "HELLO" and i will going to erase "E" using backspace, the cursor goes to the end (at the right side of O).
Anybody has a better idea for this?

You could check what the key pressed was. So if it was backspace, or any other special key, then don't go to end.

Hi,

Sorry, I can't see the problem. You can place the cursor where you want by using the cursorleft and cursor right keys or the mouse. Obviously, the moment you delete a character you fire the TextChanged event and your proper case routine re-writes the textbox.text.

Where do you want the cursor to finish?

By the way, I had to use

SendKeys.SendWait("{End}")

I have hardly fighted with real time control of input in textbox and I know that put cursor where you want to find it, is not an easy thing. Anyway, basically you have to acquire cursor position:

Dim SS as byte
SS=Textbox1.SelectionStart

then you have to calculate where it have to finish after changing is done, modify SS, and put it there with code like this

TextBox1.SelectionStart=SS

Good luck!
