Hi,


I'm just wondering, if there is a way to know if the NumLock is ON or OFF.

Thanks A Lot

I've got a plugin that lets you simulate key presses and mouse movements, which will let you active/deactive the NUM/LOCK, CAPS LOCK + other keys.

It should be noted that emulating the keyboard has a nasty tendency to lock the keyboard completely... It generally happens when you emulate the pressing of certain keys. I'm not going to do much about it as keyboard and mouse emulation shouldn't really be done.

It may also only work with Windows XP.

Okay... And no moaning if you lock out your keyboard, and have to reset...

yes , it works! (had no doubts )

It works fine on WinXp,not tested on other OS.
I just want to ask if it is possible to find if the numlock is on,
so that your plugin is used as a last resource, since is
useless to put on the numlock when it is already on, and risk to
lock the keyboard.

Thanks!

This should work (I hope).
