There does not appear to be any mention of edit masks or UPPER
in this example.

Edit masks only effect user INPUT, they do not effect the
display of existing data. AFAIK this is also true of the
"PROPER" character case capability. I am not sure now about
the UPPER character case stuff, whether it would/should convert
existing data - I would need to investigate. But you could do
that with a standard TEdit control. Assign its text directly
in code and see if it converts it.
