Make "shift" enabled in SIP on event?

[Guest]

Hello, I enable the SIP when I change to one screen, and It is the persons last name, so I would like the SIP to open up with the shift function already enabled, so the first letter will be capitalized, rather than them having to push the shft button themselves. Thanks

Rather than setting shift on the inputpanel (for which there is no direct
method, you have to simulate a screen tap over the specified co-ordinates)
you can handle the TextChanged event of the TextBox and capitalise the text
as it is updated. There is an example which will capitalise the first char
of every word here:-

You *could* use keybd_event (you'll have to P/Invoke it, but it has been
covered here before), to send a shift key to the input system. This will
make it look like the user press a hardware shift key. I can't positively
verify that it will work, but I think it will.
