SetScrollLockState (original) (raw)

SetCapsLockState/SetNumLockState/SetScrollLockState

Sets the state of the Capslock/NumLock/ScrollLock key. Can also force the key to stay on or off.

SetCapsLockState, State

SetNumLockState, State

SetScrollLockState, State

Parameters

State	On: Toggles the key into the "on" state. Off: Toggles the key into the "off" state. AlwaysOn: Forces the key to be always-on (has no effect on Windows 9x). AlwaysOff: Forces the key to be always-off (has no effect on Windows 9x).

Remarks

Keeping a key AlwaysOn or AlwaysOff requires the keyboard hook, which will be automatically installed in such cases.

These commands are currently not 100% reliable on Windows Me/98/95 due to the limitations of those OSes. As an alternative, a key can be reliably toggled to its opposite state on Win9x via the Send command. For example: Send, {Capslock}
