rcmaehl Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 (edited) Hi all, I'm encountering a weird issue. I'm attempting to toggle off Caps Lock and it briefly turns it off before it just turns right back on causing the LED to just strobe constantly. I'm using the following code: Opt("WinTitleMatchMode", 2) Global Const $VK_CAPITAL = 0x14 Main() Func _GetCapsLock() Local $ret $ret = DllCall("user32.dll","long","GetKeyState","long", $VK_CAPITAL) Return $ret[0] EndFunc Func Main() While 1 If _GetCapsLock() And WinActive("Chrome") Then Send("{CAPSLOCK OFF}") WEnd EndFunc I've tried the following to no resolve: Using #RequireAdmin Using {CAPSLOCK TOGGLE} Setting "SendKeyDownDelay" to values other than 5 Adding Sleep after attempting to turn off CapsLock Using _WinAPI_GetAsyncKeyState($VK_CAPITAL) My working environment is: AutoIt 3.3.14.4, running as Standard user (Admin also attempted as noted) Running as a non-compiled script in SciTE Windows 7 Enterprise 7601 SP1 McAfee Enterprise I'm sure I'm forgetting something basic, so any help is appreciated.

You need to use Opt("SetCapsLockMode, 0) If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.Give a programmer the correct code and he can do his work for a day.

Yeah I was Googling or autoit caps lock strobe and it wasn't pulling any useful results, and forum search wasn't helpful in the slightest with those keywords. Looks like I should have changed caps lock to capslock and it would have pulled better results using the forum search engine. Edited March 6, 2019 by rcmaehl My UDFs are generally for me.

Yeah always remember if your search isn't pulling results take a word off, it usually helps a TON. rcmaehl 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
