 Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me. |

Greetings All! I have a couple of questions. Is there any way to check (using software  ) to see if the Caps-Lock Key is On?
and; Is there any way to "lock" it into Upper-Case...well, for the duration of the program? Many thanks in advance, Nic. VK3COW |

At this time the answer is no to both questions. I have a new version of MMBasic (which will be out in a few days) and it operates the Caps Lock LED on the keyboard - but that does not help if you want to detect it in software. If you wanted all input to be in upper case you could use the UCASE$() function on any input. That would give a similar result to forcing caps lock. Geoff Geoff Graham - http://geoffg.net |

Geoff, many thanks for that. I can use that as a "work around" ..... In fact, after more scratching and thinking, the UCASE$() function may be a much better option. Yes! Great! Nic |
