I am using CComboBox control. When I type some characters in it and check which letter is typed in(in PreTranslateMessage()), then I always get capital letter in its message's wParam. My CComboBox control does not have uppercase property TRUE. Why this is happening?

The hint is in the name: PreTranslateMessage. You get the same virtual key code, because, well, you hit the same key.
