Android Question (Solved)Is it possible to have shift key pressed on keypad open?

[edm68]

so that the first letter of edittext would be capital letter?
I've searched the forum but am not sure of the terminology that I'm looking for so have had no luck.
I did try this using IME:

IMEMn.SetCustomFilter(edtMain,edtMain.INPUT_TYPE_TEXT,"ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ")

&

Sub edtMain_TextChanged (Old As String, New As String)
    If New="" Then
        IMEMn.SetCustomFilter(edtMain,edtMain.INPUT_TYPE_TEXT,"ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ")
    Else
        IMEMn.SetCustomFilter _
        (edtMain,edtMain.INPUT_TYPE_TEXT,"ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789")
    End If
End Sub

The keypad still opens with small letters showing and still have to press the shift key. Also that doesn't give the user the option of entering small letter to start edittext if they desire.
Hope that all makes sense.
Thanks.

Another solution might be to format the string on completion in FocusChanged or Enter Pressed event ... unsure if this will suit your need.
