Default Cap Lock on

I know i can set the format of textbox is "!".
However, Once i set it, i cannot change the textbox into small letters.
So , Can I set the keyboard 's default "cap lock on" ???
Thanks

Seems there was a command since VFP8:

Umm, I hope they've improved it..

Using 2.6 and WinXP, it does work but it doesn't set the indicator on my
keyboard.
If I use Win9x it sets the indicator properly.

The similar NUMLOCK() function doesn't work at all although it returns the
status it *thinks* it has set.
Again, works properly on 9x.

Must be your computer BIOS or keyboard then. Works fine on my XP/SP2 (a
no-name box that I built from parts).

Don't forget I said I was using 2.6, this is on XP/SP2.
The same things work fine in a virtual 9x machine on the same box. I'm
willing to place a small bet on something underneath Fox changing between
the OSs in how to set/query these.

I think this one goes all the way back to dBaseII. <g>

Must be. FPW2.6 changes the state, but not the light. FPD2.6 just flat
does nothing, but it does respect it when I change it from the keyboard.
