How do I check the state of the cap lock key? And how do I change the current state?

Thanks ahead to those that helps me with this one.

#Include <WinAPIEx.au3>

_SetCapsLockState(Not _GetCapsLockState())
Sleep(1000)
_SetCapsLockState(Not _GetCapsLockState())

Func _GetCapsLockState()
    Return BitAND(_WinAPI_GetKeyState(0x14), 1) = 1
EndFunc   ;==>_GetCapsLockState

Func _SetCapsLockState($iState)
    If BitXOR($iState, _GetCapsLockState()) Then
        _WinAPI_keybd_event(0x14, 0)
        _WinAPI_keybd_event(0x14, 2)
    EndIf
EndFunc   ;==>_SetCapsLockState

Hi Yashied,

Thanks for the quick response. I have dloaded your WinAPIEx.zip file and will try it for sure.

Your sample code is "over" my programing experience, so I do not really understand what is happening here (example: what does ...keybd_devent(0x14, 0 or 0x14, 2) mean)?

What I am really trying to do is to check to see if the cap lock is on and if it is unlock it before I do a "send" command. The text is case sensitive and this is the reason to be sure the cap lock is off.
