This sample application shows you how to implement the different cases known from Microsoft Word using TX Text Control ActiveX.
We are going to implement the following case changes:
- UPPER CASE (convert all characters to uppercase)
- lower case (convert all characters to lowercase)
- Title Case (first letter of each word is made uppercase)
- tOgGlE cAsE (toggle the text, whereby capital letters are made lowercase and lowercase letters are made uppercase)
- Sentence case. (convert the text, whereby the first character of the sentence is uppercase)
In Visual Basic, the functions
