No the Visual Basic MaskedEdit may support uppercase 'A', but the WiX MaskedEdit does not. I tried it anyways I set the MaskedEdit Text control to: AAAAA-AAAAA-AAAAA-AAAAA and when I ran the install the entry field was set to AAAAA-AAAAA-AAAAA-AAAAA. So definitely did not work...
Since we would like to support Upper case and numbers I tried: ^^^^^-^^^^^-^^^^^-^^^^^ And it again allowed for any characters to be entered and when finished it did not convert any letters to upper case. So MaskedEdit does not look good for mixed PID entries... without having to go outside of the box and creating custom action that will convert lower case to upper case and validate that only letters and numbers are entered...
