Hi,
sins you dislike Spec I cannot resist to taunt you with these 3 lines of Spec
code that do what you want :-P
field := TextInputFieldModel new autoAccept:true;
acceptBlock: [:text | field text: text asUppercase].
field openWithSpec
Note that the transform here is a simple asUppercase, replace that with
whatever logic suits you.
Spec does have its advantages :-)
