Synopsis
Key.isToggled(keycode)
Arguments
- keycode
An integer keycode, usually the keycode of the Caps Lock key (20), Num Lock key (144), or Scroll Lock key (145). May also be the key constant
Key.CapsLock.
Returns
A Boolean indicating whether the key specified by
keycode is on (true) or
off (false).
Description
The isToggled( ) method detects the state of the
special Caps Lock, Num Lock, or
Scroll Lock keys. Unlike other
keys, these keys have an “on” state and an
“off” state indicating whether or not the feature they
represent is active. The return of isToggled( )
tells us if the key’s feature is in effect or not. (Though
isToggled( ) actually works for any keycode, its
return value is useful only for special keys that support a toggle
feature. To detect the state of other keys, use isDown(
), getCode( ), or getAscii(
).)
