Hi @Customer, I’m an AI Support assistant here to help with your issue. While the team reviews your request, I wanted to provide some possible tips and documentation that might help you in the meantime.
- StrConv’s ProperCase follows Windows/Unicode title-casing rules under the hood; there’s no published “exception” list you can reference.
- For consistent behavior (and full control over which words stay lowercase), bypass StrConv and use:(see 10906545: Inconsistent Results From VbStrConv.ProperCase)
Dim ti = New System.Globalization.CultureInfo("en-US", False).TextInfo Dim result = ti.ToTitleCase(inputString) - To handle specific words like “to”, “the” or “’n’”, post-process the output by comparing each word against your own exception list and adjusting casing as needed.
