 Posted: Mon Jan 12, 2004 9:00 pm Post subject: GetKeyState is there, but how about SetKeyState? |
 |
|
Based on CodeScripts example for the GetKeyState api, I thought I'd
try to set keys using api's, but can't find an api to do this. The
SetKeyBoardState requires an array and doesn't allow me to set the
CAP key, which is basically what I'm trying to do, is either turn on or
off the CAP LOCK key.
I know there's vds made dlls for doing this, but I'm trying keep from
having to include an extra dll or two with the program I'm working on.
If anyone knows of an API or any other way to turn off or on the cap
lock key, I'd be very appreciative 
Thanks,
-Garrett

I think maybe the SetKeyboardState will work:
| Code: | BOOL SetKeyboardState(
LPBYTE lpbKeyState // address of array with virtual-key codes
); |

| Code: | Remarks
Because the SetKeyboardState function alters the input state of the calling thread and not the global input state of the system, an application cannot use SetKeyboardState to set the NUM LOCK, CAPS LOCK, or SCROLL LOCK indicator lights on the keyboard. |

keybd_event API can do that I think. Also I had made a example to set the state of Num Scroll Caps but as far as I remember I never posted that one even on my site:( Anyway its very simple for you

CodeScript, thanks! I didn't see that api earlier. DragonSphere, is that
the one you were going to use also? If so, you can still post whatever
code you have on that since I have nothing and will start from scratch
on this one.
Thanks,

CodeScript, thanks, I'll check it out I didn't have a chance to try
anything myself yet. I did look at the api, then of course put it off
because at first glance, I was not able to think the use of the api through
from mind to code.
