  • Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Windows, version 3.0

SUMMARY

You can force text in an edit box or text box to be converted to uppercase as it is typed in a form.

MORE INFORMATION

The Format property for a text or edit box is roughly equivalent to the FoxPro version 2.x function codes on an @ GET statement. If you set this property equal to an exclamation point (!), text will automatically be converted to uppercase as it is typed.
