INS/OVER, Caps Lock, Num Lock

GSX
Would somebody be able to point me in the direction of figuring out how
to determine if Caps Lock is on, Num Lock is on, INS or OVR, etc.?

I'm looking to display their status in a statusbar, but I cannot seem to
find any info on how to retrieve their state.

Thank you very much in advance.

Hi! I was wondering if the was any way to determine the state of the caps lock key, on or off. Of course I can capture the key events and see whether the caps lock is pressed, but that does not help. I have seen some example that looks at the characters entered in an input field to determine if the caps lock is on, but I was wondering if something is possible that is a bit more immediate to report the caps

Hi. I'm new to Visual Basic .NET, so you'll have to bear with me . . . I want to create an app that turns off CAPS LOCK when the SHIFT key is pressed. I got the code to turn off CAPS LOCK to work, but it only works when the program has the focus. How can I write an app that will do this while running in the background?

Hi, I am writting a software that requires me to make sure the Num Lock is always on and Caps Lock is always off. First, I know how to detect if Num Lock or Caps Lock is on or off (if someone is interested, let me know and I will send you the codes). Once we know if the stat of Num Lock/ Caps Lock is not what we desired, we just send the Num Lock / Caps Lock key to change the stat. From most of

I play a DirectX game and while that game is running, I would like to change the behavior of the Caps Lock key. When it's pressed, I don't want it to toggle my Caps Lock on and off, but instead send a different code instead - preferably mimicing the 4th or 5th button of a mouse being pressed. 1) Is this doable? If so... 2) What the general idea of how to approach this? TIA,

I'm not sure when it came into being, since this it the first time I have worked very much with a password control in .NET, but if a textbox that has a non-empty value for PasswordChar or the UseSystemPasswordChar property is true, and the textbox has focus, if the Caps Lock key is pressed, a warning balloon tooltip is automatically displayed by the system. I cannot even find documentation that describes this behaviour. My question is,...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
