<h5 id="GrapeCity_Win_Spread_InputMan_CellType_GcTextBoxCellType_AutoConvert_remarks">Remarks</h5>
<div class="markdown level1 remarks"><p>
      If the <b>AutoConvert</b> property is set to true, all convertible characters are 
      automatically converted accordingly to the input mask. For example, if 
      the input mask is "A", hitting a lower case character causes the control to automatically
      convert the character to upper case.
    </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.
