UserName & Password

[mclueless]

I am working with VB6. Here, i have a form with User name and password fields. I do no want the user to be allowed to type in capital letters in these two fields. only small letters should be allowed. how can this be done???

...I do no want the user to be allowed to type in capital letters in these two fields. only small letters should be allowed.

In the KeyDown or KeyPress event for the textbox (I'm assuming they're textboxes) just check what value was received.

If you don't like what you see, either prevent it going through, or convert it to lowercase.

But it is not recommended to restrict the username and password to certain case only. So what you can do is receive the value from userinput and store in a desired format (uppercase,lowe rcase etc) and at the time of userlogin compare the same.

Huh? Accepting only lowercase for both fields (username and password)? This is unusual ^ ^

If you make the username and pasword non case specific....... .then why bother trying to restrict case since it will be ignored anyway.
This is assuming your checking the username and password using code that ignores casing....

Two options;

1. Under TextChanged for the text boxes type:
txtBox.Text = LCase(txtBox.Te xt)

2. Change the Property "CharacterCasin g" for the TextBox to Lower

I agree with Baglovely.. OR you can use an Keyascii for it

VB6 doesn't have this property.

If you use Lcase property under change event it will make a trouble to user.
When user clicks on Save or Ok button write this code under the click event.

[CODE=vb]txtuser.Text = LCase(txtuser)
txtpassword.Tex t = LCase(txtpasswo rd)[/CODE]

Sorry, put my reply on the wrong post. I meant that VB6 doesn't have a CharacterCasing property on textboxes.

Sorry for some errors in my code use UCase instead of LCase

UCase() = Convert alphabets to Upper Case
LCase() = Convert alphabets to Lower Case
