FYI: just tried it in RS2012R2.1 and the flag is not needed, so the change happened before, so no Xojo version is affected.
Is there some reason you can’t just use ‘>’ in the mask of the textfield ?
You really should start a new conversation for a new topic. Randomly inserting questions into unrelated topics is not a good way to get answers
Actually Stephen’s suggestion was for this topic ;-). If you put “>” in the mask property of a textfield it converts typed text into uppercase automatically (so no code is needed for it in the text change event).
Wow. Apologies to Stephen. Learned something again
P.S. Why is that?
Why is what ?

Thanks, but my imprecise question was more directed at: “Why? Is that some kind of standard like RegEx or is that something Xojo specific?”

According to msdn, it is valid for all Microsoft languages.

To be more specific, the page I linked to cites C#,C++,F## and VB. Not Javascript.
