How to display in capital letter in textbox.

hello,

In the Textbox(basic MSI project),when the user enters input,it should display in capital. Since "DoAction" event is not supported for the textbox, i could not make it. Anybody has idea?

Regards,
Akshara

Perhaps a masked edit control set to uppercase? This might not work well unless the text is restricted to a single length... Would it be a problem to just change the text when the Next button is pressed?

when the user enters the input, he has to view immediately in capital letter only.please let me know if any other option other than masking or doing it in next button.

Unfortunately, Windows Installer does not publish edit-field-changed messages so you can't intercept keystrokes as the user types them. This causes other annoyances as well (like not being able to disable the Next button until the user types valid values into one or more edit fields). In an MSI installation, that validation can only take place after the user clicks Next.
