Hi!

1.  I'd like all the input into the 'editbox' part of the combobox to be in uppercase. I tried selecting the text and converting it in the 'text-changed' event, but it doesn't work for the first character entered (it recalls the previous text, rather than dealing with the newly-entered character). I also tried this in the validating event but that only makes the change as I tab to another component.... 

2.  After I've moved to another component, there's text in the edit-box part of the combobox but it's no longer 'selected', i.e. highlighted, so the SelectedIndex property no longer reflects the visible text. How do i get the index of the underlying list for the NON-HIGHLIGHTED text in the editbox part of the combobox?

Any and all help with these would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

John F.
