Look to set the caps routine from LeaveCell & LostFocus events of the grid, which are when a user moves to a different cell within the grid or to a different control on the form
Main Topics
Browse All TopicsI am using VSFlexgrid 7.0 control in a VB application.
I want to format my flexgrid such a way that any text entered into that automatically capitalizes first character. e.g If 'this is a text' is entered, it is converted to 'This is a text'. How can I do this?
I tried to do this by VSFlexgrid's KeyPressEdit and KeyDownEdit events, but no success.
Please help if you have any idea.
Thanks

It's been a while since I worked with the FlexGrid, so, I can't recall the exact name of the events, however, the place you would want to put your code is when a cell finishes editing. If you are trying to change the text while the cell is being edited, you're going to be in contention with the editor. So, either in an event like Column Change (where you have moved from one column to another) or Row Change (moved from one row to another), or better yet, if there is a Cell Change event (where you've moved to another Cell), or best yet, a Cell End Edit type of event, that is where you should put the code.
