    Ok its early and the brain must not be working well this morning. I have a Login dialog that is case sensitive with user names and passwords. What I want to do is alert user when the "Caps Lock" key is pressed (show info in a static text control). What I can't figure out is how to know when the Caps Lock key is pressed. I'm sure this is something that I am just overlooking. Thanks.. Tim :-D

        Rather than polling, you can call SetWindowsHookEx() and check for VK_CAPITAL.
