Re: Can one permanentaly change a text field's case to capitals?
Just a note about the pastekey... I am on a windows machine, and I find that using the pastekey handler is not always perfect. You can paste with either ctrl-C or with the insert button. I use a rawkeydown script instead of a pastekey script. With rawkeydown, I can test for either ctrl-C or the insert button.

A further note... You might also need to check for dragged items - In case someone drags text in from another field.

Can one permanentaly change a text field's case to capitals?
Thanks to Ken Ray for the script: on keyDown pKey put toUpper(pKey) into the selection end keyDown It works like a charm to insure that only capital letters are typed into a field. This is a forum full of gurus. Thanks!

Sometimes in Rev IDE my keyboard shortcuts stop working (Save, Copy, Duplicate) and I have to relaunch or use the menus. Have not figured out the culprit yet. Would this be related?

Can one permanentaly change a text field's case to capitals?
Does anyone know if there is a way to change the type in a field to capital letters and keep it that way as a property whenever one types into the field? I know that the Text Formatting option of a text field has a Change Case option to change the text into capital letters during development. However, can one permanently set this as a field's property so that whenever one types in the field it will type as capital letters? Thanks.

I had to make a quick fix to a program at work one day and made a very similar mistake which had the effect of making everything come out backwards. If they typed today, they got yadot! I got a lot of teasing about that one :-) Sarah ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
