I'm using the SendKeys() function to send keys to a command line app. (It's a PGP app that needs a passphrase entered). I had a problem with the script last night because CAPS LOCK was turned on. What can I do about this? Is there a way to make sure CAPS LOCK is off? Or is there some other alternative?

Thanks,
Mark

You can send {CAPS LOCK} to turn it off but the problem is that you need to know whether it is turned on or not. I am sure this can be done in a script. I will check how to get the state of CAPS LOCK and post some example script here.

Here is how you can do that using VBScript in 24x7. Th WScrip.Shell implementation of SendKeys doesn't depend on the state of CAPS LOCK. Use this script as an example.

Sub Main()

Dim ShellObject

' Create shell object

Set ShellObject = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

' Run my program

ShellObject.Run "notepad", 9

' Give my program some time to load (3 seconds)

JALScript.Execute("Wait 3")

' Send the keys

ShellObject.SendKeys "Hello World!"

ShellObject.SendKeys "{ENTER}"
End sub
