When using .Sendkeys to stuff the keyboard buffer, I noticed the "+" modifier is the same as holding the [Shift] key and the modifier respects the [Caps-Lock] state: Caps On, Lowecase; Caps Off, Uppercase.

For example, BFS.Input.SendKeys("+({VK_50}{VK_65}){VK_76}{VK_76}+({VK_80})") results:

Since this is a case-sensitive password I am stuffing, I need the case to be persistant, regardless of the [Caps-Lock] state. I have tried adding 32 to each ASCII value to stuff with lowercase alphas, but that did not work.

So, is there a modifier I can prefix with to force a lowercase ASC char? Or, is there a way to force [Caps-Lock] Off within a custom script?

BTW, I have also tried, BFS.Input.SendKeys("@Allp");

[Caps-Lock] state affects it, too. The @ symbol will require the + & ASC code, +({VK_50}.

OFF:2allp
ON: 2ALLP

You could do something like this (You'll need to add

using System.Windows.Forms;

to the top of the script):

Code
Copy
Select All

// Check if CapsLock is enabled, if so, send CapsLock to disable
if (Control.IsKeyLocked(Keys.CapsLock))
{
    BFS.Input.SendKeys("{VK_20}");
}

Ahhhh, a windows form namespace. I developed in ASP.Net so didn't have the luxury of using that namespace. I will have to investigate it further now.

I added this snippet and it seems to work fine. My camera cloud system is not working right now so I tested the stuffing with notepad.

if (Control.IsKeyLocked(Keys.CapsLock))
{
BFS.Input.SendKeys("{VK_20}");
BFS.General.ThreadWait(500);
}
