current Caps Lock state

hello everyone!
I'm looking for a way to get the current capslock state, but didn't have found anything that works
any idea??

 

I don't think thats possible in Unity I'm afraid, unless you write your own native plugin to get it.

What you can do is handle key-down events with KeyCode.CapsLock, but this will not pick up the actual state of the capslock if it changes outside your game.

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. class CapsLock : MonoBehaviour
3. {
4.     private bool m_CapsLock = false;
5.     void Update()
6.     {
7.         if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.CapsLock)
8.         {
9.            m_CapsLock = !m_CapsLock;
10.         }
11.     }
12. }
13.  

 

no, this is a "fake way" and didn't work if you are developing a password system for example, what I neet is a way to get the REAL caps lock status, propably I'll need to develop my native plugin for that :-/

 

There is actually this that you might be able to use https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.control.iskeylocked(v=vs.80).aspx

 

yes, I'm was reading this link right now xD I made my native plugin and it worked <3
BUT! I've contacted the guys from Unity too asking if there something for this inside the engine, if have I'll post here, if not, I'll create a nice plugin with some stuff and publish on asset store

 

any news on this?

 

hey! yes! I had a hardware fail and lost it xD
I'll try to recode it, and as it is a little more hard and may need some different code on each platform (and I didn't have time for it right now), I'll open the source on github...
