Automatically capitalize all input in WPF
Question
Is there a way to automatically capitalize all input thoughtout a WPF app?
Solution
You can case all input into TextBox
controls with the following property:
CharacterCasing="Upper"
To apply to all TextBox
controls in the entire application create a style for all TextBox
controls:
<Style TargetType="{x:Type TextBox}">
<Setter Property="CharacterCasing" Value="Upper"/>
</Style>
OTHER TIPS
I recommend creating a custom Textbox class and override an event to automatically capitalize the text. First, this depends on if you want the text to be capitalize as they type or after input is finished.
E.g. for after input is finished
public class AutoCapizalizeTextBox: TextBox
{
public AutoCapitalizeTextBox()
{
}
public AutoCapitlizeTextBox()
{
}
protected override void OnLostFocus(EventArgs e)
{
this.Text = this.Text.ToUpper();
base.OnLostFocus(e);
}
}
I don't know if this'll help, it capitalizes all the first letters in the sentence.
