capslock, state, winapi

Solution

You want the GetKeyState() function:

with the VK_CAPITAL key code. Rest of the virtual key codes are here:

Problem

How can get whether Caps Lock is on or off? I tried to search it but all I'm finding is how to toggle or turn it on/off which is exactly opposite of what I'm looking for. I'm trying to do that in both C++ and Delphi. Please help
