Uppercase letters in Edit control in WiX

Question

I'm creating a WiX installer for an application. I have a requirement to make the text in an Edit control uppercase (replace lowercase letters with uppercase as the input is being given).

How to solve this issue?

Answer 1

I don't think there is a way to do it without a custom action (CA). The most straightforward approach which comes to my mind is to create an immediate CA, which converts the value of the Edit control Property to UPPERCASE before using it further.

Hope it helps. If there's a simpler way, I would be happy to know it! :)
