  A Closer Look How ActiveCase Works    
         
 

ActiveCase can process all types of data including Names, Addresses, City/State/Zip, Sentences and Titles, each with its own unique capitalization rules. The capitalization is controlled through the use of 8 user-definable styles. The use of style tables allows the application of different capitalization rules to the same word depending on its context.

ActiveCase does more than just proper case conversions. Use it to punctuate, abbreviate and even expand existing abbreviations. Instantly correct typos with the built-in list of common misspellings.

 

ActiveCase starts by applying the default capitalization rules for the selected style. Next, the selected style table is searched for every character, word and phrase in the input string. When a match is found, the corresponding character, word or phrase from the style table replaces the original data in the input string.

To use ActiveCase, set the Text_Style to the data type of the input string then set the Text_In property to the text to be adjusted. After calling the Convert method, ActiveCase returns the converted string in the Text_Out property.

  The screen shot above was taken from a sample application created using VB6. Other samples, including Access, can be found in the ActiveCase folder.   The use of the wildcard character (*) allows you to correctly case entire groups of words depending on their prefix. If you need to exclude certain words from the wildcarding, place them in the table before the wildcarded word.
