Shafayat Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 I am currently using this dll call to get capslock status. $status = DllCall("user32.dll","long","GetKeyState","long",0x14) Is it possible to register a message (like WM_NOTIFY) exclusively for caps lock status change? So that I do not need to recursively check if the status has changed or not? [Not using this account any more. Using "iShafayet" instead] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Melba23 Posted February 17, 2010 Moderators Share Posted February 17, 2010 Shafayat,- Why does everybody suspect me making a keylogger? I don't need a keylogger, for Christ's sake.If you bother to read carefully, I merely said that to know how to check for one key automatically gave the power to check for all - nowhere did I accuse you of wanting to do that, but you must see the risk if we did so.- I shall do that now when you people aren't willing to help me find another workaround.I am delighted that you find my suggestion useful.
