Use event KeyDown, if for example CapsLock pressed, then set the image in statusbar. For example, you are using ToolStripStatusLabel, then set it to : toolStripStatusLabel1.Image = ((System.Drawing.Image)(resources.GetObject("toolStripStatusLabel1.Image"))); Use the designer, and see the code behind it in ...Designer.cs.

Here you go, Add images caps_on and caps_off in the resources, then add below code into your form class..

    private bool bCapLock = false;
    protected override bool ProcessCmdKey(ref Message msg, Keys keyData)
    {
        if (keyData == Keys.CapsLock)
        {                
            if (!bCapLock)
            {
                toolStripStatusLabel1.Image =  Properties.Resources.caps\_on;
                bCapLock = true;
            }
            else
            {
                toolStripStatusLabel1.Image = Properties.Resources.caps\_off;
                bCapLock = false;
            }
        }
        return base.ProcessCmdKey(ref msg, keyData);
    }

Hope this can help.
