Geoff...whether using the TEditMask formatting characters for both
the EditMask and DisplayFormat properties of TIB_Query or PROPER in
the CharCase property of TIB_Query, neither the input or output
through IB_ComboBox is affected...however, using the above with
UPPER, both display and edit is affected...i'm pretty sure that the
total editmask interface is not implemented for the combobox object.
