Description
|
|
|
ebUpperCase
|
1
|
Converts string to uppercase. This constant is supported on all platforms.
|
|
|
ebLowerCase
|
2
|
Converts string to lowercase. This constant is supported on all platforms.
|
|
|
ebProperCase
|
3
|
Capitalizes the first letter of each word and lower-cases all the letters. This constant is supported on all platforms.
|
|
|
ebWide
|
4
|
Converts narrow characters to wide characters. This constant is supported on Japanese locales only.
|
|
|
ebNarrow
|
8
|
Converts wide characters to narrow characters. This constant is supported on Japanese locales only.
|
|
|
ebKatakana
|
16
|
Converts Hiragana characters to Katakana characters. This constant is supported on Japanese locales only.
|
|
|
ebHiragana
|
32
|
Converts Katakana characters to Hiragana characters. This constant is supported on Japanese locales only.
|
|
|
ebUnicode
|
64
|
Converts string from MBCS to UNICODE. (This constant can only be used on platforms supporting UNICODE.)
|
|
|
ebFromUnicode
|
128
|
Converts string from UNICODE to MBCS. (This constant can only be used on platforms supporting UNICODE.)
|
|
|
A runtime error is generated when a conversion is requested that is not supported on the current platform. For example, the ebWide and ebNarrow constants can only be used on an MBCS platform. (You can determine platform capabilities using the Basic.Capabilities method.)
The following groupings of constants are mutually exclusive and therefore cannot be specified at the same time:
ebUpperCase, ebLowerCase, ebProperCase
ebWide, ebNarrow
ebUnicode, ebFromUnicode
Many of the constants can be combined. For example, ebLowerCase Or ebNarrow.
When converting to proper case (i.e., the ebProperCase constant), the following are seen as word delimiters: tab, linefeed, carriage-return, formfeed, vertical tab, space, null.

Example

Sub Main()
a = InputBox("Type any string:")
MsgBox "Upper case: " & StrConv(a,ebUpperCase)
MsgBox "Lower case: " & StrConv(a,ebLowerCase)
MsgBox "Proper case: " & StrConv(a,ebProperCase)
If Basic.Capability(10) And Basic.OS = ebWin16 Then
'This is an MBCS locale
MsgBox "Narrow: " & StrConv(a,ebNarrow)
MsgBox "Wide: " & StrConv(a,ebWide)
MsgBox "Katakana: " & StrConv(a,ebKatakana)
MsgBox "Hiragana: " & StrConv(a,ebHiragana)
End If
End Sub
