Ok guys.
Ok guys. I’ve been banging my head against the wall here. I want to use a script to set a dynamic text object to all capital letters. Seems simple enough, (as I’m sure it is), but after reading I’m still lost. I figured I would need the item ID, #000009. Any clue’s?

Modifying dynamic text label is not really supported because its value may change at any time. But you can do that with a normal shortcut:
first you need to get the container for the item. Usually this is the current desktop:
var container = LL.getCurrentDesktop()
To get the item you need to replace # with 0x in the id (Javascript syntax):
var item = container.getItemById(0x00000009);
Then you can get the label or change it this way:
var label = item.getLabel();
var new_label=label.toUpperCase()
item.setLabel(new_label);

Couldn’t you change the font to an all caps font?

Pierre Hébert ok, that actually makes me feel a little better! I had seen the script for changing all labels in a container, and figured a “regular” item out, but could not figure out a dynamic text item. Olin James, That’s a great idea, and it had crossed my mind, but the font I’m using has some unique attributes, and I honestly thought I was too ignorant to figure out something relatively basic. I can live with only the first letter capitalized. Thanks to both of you for your input!
