Can't shut down CapsLock

[supraspecies]

I use  

Send("{CapsLock off}")

I just started writing a script, and immediately faced a problem. I need to turn off CapsLock key. I can not shut off CapsLock button. Try it - the button LED will  flash, but it sure as Hell won't turn off. Ive tried everything. So how do I shut the damned thing on or off? It's either beyond my current skills, or I missed something.

$WshShell = ObjCreate("WScript.Shell")
$WshShell.SendKeys("{CAPSLOCK}")

or set option at start of script..

Opt("SendCapslockMode", 0) ;1=store and restore, 0=don't

then your send capslock on/off/toggle will work

Above my level... Eager to learn. I can see it triggers CapsLock On and Off, but how do i modify it to only trigger Caps Lock Off?

Your method worked like a charm, thank you very much. And thank you, badcoder123 that was a really neat small piece of code.!

#include <WinAPIvkeysConstants.au3>
#include <WinAPISys.au3>
Opt("SendCapslockMode", 0)

Send("{CapsLock}")
$_Status = _WinAPI_GetKeyState($VK_CAPITAL)
ConsoleWrite($_Status)

This will tell you if it's on or off... Now it's just a case of you inserting an If statement.
