Caps lock is a keyboard state, not a character value, so there is no ASCII value for it (which is what I'm guessing you mean by ANSI.)

Since you flagged this as ASP.Net, I am also guessing you want to know how to read the caps lock state from a browser. You can use Javascript to make a "best guess" when someone types into a text box; I found this example[^] here at CP. But otherwise, no.

Your messages are usefull!

I'm using the logic that you pointed out, but the problem is,

I Called function at 'onkeypress',
when i press any key(if capslock is ON) that tell 'capslock is on'
when i off the caps lock, the message is not disappearing,
Only disappears after i press any key.!

i want that message to be disappeared when off the caps lock not after pressing any key!

Thanks!
Shiva.
