Hello,
I am working on a C# program for class. I have made a keyboard typing
program and want to be able to have it detect if the Caps, Num, and
Scroll Lock keys are on or off at program startup. I have made three
buttons representing each of these (like the lights on any keyboard
representing if these controls are on or off). If any of these keys
are on at startup, I want the program to be able to detect it and
change the color of the button(s) to a different color. I cannot
figure out how to do this for the life of me. Any help on this would
be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
 
Take a look at the Control.ModifierKeys property. It's a static method
(i.e. available from anywhere) that will give you this information.

You may want to set up a keyboard hook:
