NUMLOCK( ) Function
Returns the current mode of the NUM LOCK key or sets the mode of the NUM LOCK key on or off.
NUMLOCK([lExpression])
Return Values
Logical
Parameters
- lExpression
Turns the NUM LOCK key on or off. If lExpression is true (.T.), the NUM LOCK key is turned on; if lExpression is false (.F.), the NUM LOCK key is turned off. NUMLOCK( ) returns a logical value corresponding to the NUM LOCK key setting before NUMLOCK(.T.) or NUMLOCK(.F.) is issued.
Remarks
NUMLOCK( ) returns true (.T.) if the NUM LOCK key is on (pressing a key on the numeric keypad returns a number), or false (.F.) if NUM LOCK is off (pressing a key on the numeric keypad moves the cursor).
Example
In the following example, the equal sign (=) is used to execute NUMLOCK( ) without returning a value.
gcOldLock = NUMLOCK( ) && Save original setting
WAIT WINDOW 'Press a key to turn Num Lock on'
= NUMLOCK(.T.) && Turn Num Lock on
WAIT WINDOW 'Press a key to turn Num Lock off'
= NUMLOCK(!NUMLOCK( )) && Toggle Num Lock to the opposite value
WAIT WINDOW 'Press a key to restore original Num Lock setting'
= NUMLOCK(gcOldLock) && Return to original setting
