Hello Dawa

In the get focus of the textbox you could fire a timer that checks the status and updates your message (every second or so), in the lost focus turn the timer off.

Another choice, depending on security requirements is to not make your logins case sensitive, you could enforce password length to make it more secure.

I support case sensitive logins, but count as a match the Exact Login OR the Reverse Caps Lock login. This way they still need to know the password with casing, but I don't care about the capslock status and is only minimally less secure.

EX:

Password='aBcDeFg5678'

Will accept
Password='AbCdEfG5678'

But Not
Password='abcdefg5678'
Password='ABCDEFG5678'

Hope that helps

Bob

>I know I can get Caps Lock's key state by calling CapsLock(). I'd like to warn my users if the key is on when they enter login info through a form. On the login form, I set the KePreview to .t. and in the KeyPress event I've got the following code:

>this.labelWarning.Visible = CapsLock() && Caption reads "Warning: Caps Lock key is on"
