Hi,

api GetKeyState() will do this for you. Pasting in some code below
(will wrap I guess).

HTH,

Simon


PROGRAM

VK_CAPITAL EQUATE(20)
VK_NUMLOCK EQUATE(144)
VK_SCROLL EQUATE(145)

MAP
MODULE('User32')
GetKeyState(LONG nVirtKey),LONG,PASCAL,RAW
END
END

CODE

IF GetKeyState(VK_CAPITAL)
MESSAGE('CAPSLOCK ON')
ELSE
MESSAGE('CAPSLOCK OFF')
END

IF GetKeyState(VK_NUMLOCK)
MESSAGE('NUMLOCK ON')
ELSE
MESSAGE('NUMLOCK OFF')
END

Hello ivica,

You have to test some Keystate. Here is an example:

IF BAND(KEYSTATE(),2000h) !Test the state of the NUM
lock key
MenuWindow{Prop:StatusText,5} = 'Lock' !Its on
ELSE
MenuWindow{Prop:StatusText,5} = 'Unlock' !Its off
END
IF BAND(KEYSTATE(),1000h) !Test the state of the
CAPS lock key
MenuWindow{Prop:StatusText,6} = 'Lock' !Its on
ELSE
MenuWindow{Prop:StatusText,6} = 'Unlock' !Its off
END
IF BAND(KEYSTATE(),4000h) !Test the state of the
Scroll lock key
MenuWindow{Prop:StatusText,7} = 'Lock' !Its on
ELSE
MenuWindow{Prop:StatusText,7} = 'Unlock' !Its off
END


HTH,
Guy

hi,

thanks a lot on your help, i put this code in embed point Windows Manager
- Restore from INI

!Divide status bar on 6 sections
0{Prop:Status,1} = 190
0{Prop:Status,2} = 125
0{Prop:Status,3} = 125
0{Prop:Status,4} = 125
0{Prop:Status,5} = 125
0{Prop:Status,6} = 125

!NUM lock key
IF BAND(KEYSTATE(),2000h) !Test the state of
the
0{Prop:StatusText,4} = 'Num Lock On' !Its on
ELSE
0{Prop:StatusText,4} = 'Num Lock Off' !Its off
END

!CAPS lock key
IF BAND(KEYSTATE(),1000h) !Test the state of
the
0{Prop:StatusText,5} = 'Caps Lock On' !Its on
ELSE
0{Prop:StatusText,5} = 'Caps Lock Off' !Its off
END

!SCROLL lock key
IF BAND(KEYSTATE(),4000h) !Test the state of
the
0{Prop:StatusText,6} = 'Scroll Lock On' !Its on
ELSE
0{Prop:StatusText,6} = 'Scroll Lock Off' !Its off
END


It works fine

Thanks a lot

Ivica
