How to capitalize a string

[SixDegrees]

There's no function to change the first character of a string to upper case because such a function makes little sense in many languages; it is a task specific mainly to Western languages and alphabets. In today's global, Unicode world the majority of readers would find such a function useless.

If that's all you need, however, however, myString[0].toUpper() will get you there. Feel free to define a macro, or a function, or simply hard-code the solution wherever it's needed.

You can use QFont::setCapitalization(). I guess the rationale is that it's a rendering step.

Hi,

I guess you want to capitalize all nouns in a sentence, as is common for titles in English.

Use the split method of QString, using a space as separator. This gives you a list of strings. toUpper() each first character of each string in the stringlist. Then concatenate all the strings back together, putting a space in between them.

You could add exceptions that the words 'and' and 'or' and such are not capitalized.

Best regards,
Marc
