[Gambas-user] Highlight Editor - Capslock Key State

[MaxVK]

Aha! Scrap the first message! It DOES work, but...

The Form_KeyPress event would not seem to fire at all, so I added an
invisible button to the form, and as the last line in the Form_Open event I
added Button1.SetFocus. With the code from the Form_Activate event in your
example in the Button1_GotFocus event the Keypress was now firing and the
State of the capslock key was successfully read.

Thanks again Stefano, I'm not sure why I had to change the code like that
(Your example works on its own), but its working now.

All the best

Max
