What makes you think TestComplete is not turning off Caps Lock? What actions is your test trying to perform, and what exactly does not work as expected?

If bl is true then caps lock is on. the Keybd event will then turn it off, and the last call tests the keystate again to confirm its off.

 

bl = cBool(Win32API.GetKeyState(VK_CAPITAL))

If bl then

Call Win32API.keybd_event(VK_CAPITAL, 0, KEYEVENTF_EXTENDEDKEY Or KEYEVENTF_KEYDOWN, 0)

Call Win32API.keybd_event(VK_CAPITAL, 0, KEYEVENTF_EXTENDEDKEY Or KEYEVENTF_KEYUP, 0)

End if

bl = cBool(Win32API.GetKeyState(VK_CAPITAL))
