How to change all text in a textframe to uppercase?

I am trying to change the text to uppercase and I found the changeCaseTo and CaseChangeType for textRanges but I can't get them to work...

Here is my code:

app.activeDocument.textFrames[0].textRange.changeCaseTo = CaseChangeType.UPPERCASE

This doesn't error out but it doesn't do what it's supposed either

Any ideas what I am doing wrong?

Correct answer CarlosCanto

changeCaseTo(type) is a function, use it like this

app.activeDocument.textFrames[0].textRange.changeCaseTo (CaseChangeType.UPPERCASE);

Thank you for the quick response!

The funny part is that I've tried that and it was returning an error saying that changeCaseTo is not a function... Now after restarting the machine all works fine!
