Sorry i posted code in C#. Keypress is the best way of controlling user input in textboxes (Richtext or normal). Here is the VB code, please try
Private Sub RichTextBox1_KeyPress(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs) Handles RichTextBox1.KeyPress
e.KeyChar = Char.ToUpper(e.KeyChar)
End Sub
