Force all character input into a RichEditCtrl to be uppercase

I have a need to force all character input into a CRichEditCtrl to be uppercase. I do not want to do this via the OnEnChange() ( EN_CHANGE ) function but rather using the PreTranslateMessage() function or the OnKeydown() function. I just don't want the character appearing in the dialog before I change it so it appears to be seamless while typing in the CRichEditCtrl.

Thanks,
Bob
