Keyboard State Gadget

Hi, I have a wireless keyboard that does not have status lights for num, caps or scroll lock,

I want to write a gadget to show this however i cannot find any information on calling the API from javascript.

If anyone has any ideas or examples on this i would be greatful.

I don't believe you'll be able to get the keyboard state just using JavaScript.

The only approach I can think of offhand is to write a COM wrapper that calls GetKeyState in user32.dll. You can use that COM object from your gadget script, then.

As Scott states, you'll need a COM. Here's the code you'll need (VB).
I haven't tried it, but I believe it returns 1 for NumLock/CapsLock/ShiftLock if they're on.

Private Declare Function GetKeyState Lib "user32" (ByVal key As Long) As Integer

Public Function KeyState(keyCode As Long) As Integer
KeyState = GetKeyState(keyCode)
End Function
