If you are using "hWnd" alone, then it refers to the Form, use Text1.hWnd
instead. Also, EM_UNDO doesn't undo the last style change. It is equivalent
to pressing Ctrl+z only.

In addition to what Ken suggested, you could turn off all the 3 styles off
before selecting the new one like this:

' Remove the 3 styles first, if you don't know what it was set to before
style = style And Not ES_UPPERCASE
style = style And Not ES_LOWERCASE
style = style And Not ES_NUMBER

' Set the desired style
style = style Or ES_UPPERCASE
