<h5 id="GrapeCity_Win_Spread_InputMan_CellType_GcMaskCellType_AutoConvert_remarks">Remarks</h5>
<div class="markdown level1 remarks"><p>If the <b>AutoConvert</b> property is set to <a href="https://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/csharp/language-reference/builtin-types/bool">true</a>, all convertible characters are automatically converted accordingly to the input mask. For example, if the input mask is set to &quot;A&quot;, then pressing a lower case character automatically converts the character into upper case.</p>
<p></p>
If SBCS is entered in a DBCS mask input, the entered character is automatically converted to DBCS. Also a DBCS space is automatically converted to a SBCS space when the control allows only SBCS.
