Hmmm.

I don't think you can "set" the state of those keys. You can, of course, use a native function to detect that state:

Code: Select all

answer the capsLockKey

Is it that you want to force user input into all caps, say when typing into a field? That is better done with a "keyDown" or "rawKeyDown" handler, located in the right place.

Write back with your thoughts....

Ok

I will try other way for what i need it. its how you say i have to change the state off the capslock from button in mine card.one button that says Capslock on and Capslock Off (or it can be numlock or scrollock to) reason is for using keyboard light from one those 3 key.
still of there's a solution for it i will be happy to here from some one.

Code: Select all

set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
WshShell.SendKeys "{NUMLOCK}"

Is it possible to imple,emt it in livecode or an way i can put it to work?

Hi.

So what if you had a checkBox button that was labelled "All Caps"? And if the hilite of that button was "true", then the text that the user entered into one or more fields was automatically made all caps.

The checkBox need not be visible, or even be a button. It just has to be a property that can be interrogated as required.

Is that what you are needing? If so, write back, or better, give it a try yourself. The whole solution is only a handful of lines in a handler.
