    getting caps, num, and scroll lock state

    I'm trying to create an Edit type program using the Win32 API and C in the console.

    What function(s) and how would I use them to get the state of Caps Lock, Num Lock, and Scroll Lock?

    Is the code something like the code below?

    Code:
    if(GetAsyncKeyState(VK_CAPITAL))
      Caps Lock is toggled
    else
      Caps Lock is untoggle
    Thanks

    When all else fails, read the instructions.
    If you're posting code, use code tags: [code] /* insert code here */ [/code]
