Input Field Upper Case?

Hi all
I am not sure this question is asked before or not. I have searched and couldn't find. I want user to input in upper case in input field. I have tried:
public void OnValueChange()
{
inputField.text=inputField.text.toUpper();
}

This seems to work on desktop. HOwever, when I test it on android, application crashes. Does anybody have any idea?

 

This is just pure hypothetical since I am on my phone and can't look up the code. Does setting the input fields text call OnValueChanged on Android? That would cause a Stack overflow and crash the ap.

 

I don't have any idea, but maybe you should store the value to some temporary variable and compare the value first so it won't loop infintely, something like

Code (CSharp):

1. var upperText = inputField.text.toUpper();
2. if (upperText != inputField.text) inputField.text = upperText;

 

No way, still same. Anyone?

 

Yes it calls the function

 

@Tim C please help me!!!

 

Hello phil-Unity
This is the first time I have problem with UI, so I dont know whom to be contact with Thanks for your help.

 

public void NameInputFieldValueChange()
{
if(nameInputField.text=="")
{
okButton.interactable=false;
okButtonText.color= new Color(0.93f,0.65f,0.37f,1);
okTextOutline.effectColor= new Color(0.93f,0.65f,0.37f,0.5f);
}
else
{
okButton.interactable=true;
okButtonText.color= new Color(1,0.92f,0.37f);
okTextOutline.effectColor= new Color(0.517f,0.188f,0,0.5f);
nameInputField.text=nameInputField.text.ToUpper();
}
}

Here is the only code related to InputField. I assigned this method to OnValueChange event trigger of InputField. What should I do?

 

I will wait patch release. I dont know how to change source code.Thanks for this bug fix. Good job

 

Once one downloads, do you just override the existing Unity files within the install folder?

 

Hi phil-Unity

you said problem will be solved in p5. I have installed unity4.6.2 but problem is still there But this time a bit different. Previously, aplication was crashing when I write from keyboard, now when I write something application restart again. Still, I cannot write in upper case in inputfield. What should I do?

 

I have discovered that when I write in upper case letters(from keyboard), it does not restart again. However when I write in lower case from keyboard, it restarts application. Interesting...

 

problem is still there. Case 669286

 

Is it possible that this showed back up in 5.6? I wasn't having the problem in 5.2.3, but am updating my app and was crashing with the looping problem when trying to force all caps.

 

Hey there i'm using the onValidateInput callback

Code (CSharp):

1.     private void Awake() {
2.         yourInputField.onValidateInput += delegate (string input, int charIndex, char addedChar) { return SetToUpper(addedChar); };
3.     }
4.  
5.     public char SetToUpper(char c) {
6.         string str = c.ToString().ToUpper();
7.         char[] chars = str.ToCharArray();
8.         return chars[0];
9.     }

Maybe not the best way but works perfectly

 

The idea is sound. You could also do:

Code (csharp):

1. public char SetToUpper(char c) {
2.    return char.ToUpper(c);
3.   }

 

This worked like a charm, thanks!
