Have you tried GetKeyboardState() to see if it has a similar undesirable behavior under ME?

Have you tried GetKeyboardState() to see if it has a similar undesirable behavior under ME?

<div>
I don't have winME here to test, but yesterday I tested it and GetKeyboardState() didn't return the on/off state (as I remember it returns the same result as GetKeyState).<br />
I don't want to use hooks because my program is very small I want it to be an alone exe file (use hook I will need a dll file).<br />
It's hard to believe that such a simple task is impossible.<br />

Thanks for the info. Microsoft document made me crazy for a while (it doesn't mention about that anywhere in my MSDN).<br />
Now I scan keystate of VK_SCROLL all the time and calculate the state myself. The timer interval I set tok 10ms. It works ok now :)

I have a non-window app that keeps checking Scroll lock state every second. I use GetKeyState(VK_SCROLL) in WindowsXP and it returns 1 if scroll lock is on. But in WinME, GetKeyState only works if the dialog of my app got the focus. I changed to GetAsyncKeyState but it only reports the state (pushed or released), not on/off of the toggle button.<br />
How would I know the state (on/off) of scroll lock?<br />

Getting VK_SCROLL state in WinME

Most development for the Microsoft platform is done utilizing the technologies supported by the.NET framework. Other development is done using Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) for programs like Access, Excel, Word and Outlook, with PowerShell for scripting, or with SQL for large databases.
