Smartforms 4.6.11 - how to convert text to Upper case on change in an Item view
 

Diagnoses

We have a form with a text box. We are wanting to change an Item view 'text box control' to upper case on user input.

We are using the 'changed' event on the Text box.
When attempting to use an expression to convert the text ToUpper() for the required field, the change does not appear to work, unless a show message box entered before the change. Ive tried using 'transfer data' and setting control properties to update the text field.

 

Resolution

Set the conversion expression on a data label then add the following rule:

When Datalabel is changed
then set control's (textbox) properties(set the conversion expression)
