Enable Caps Lock (uppercase) key with VBScript implementation _vbs

Ask:
Hey, scripting guy!. I have a script where users enter some information in a Input box.  The information needs to being entered in all-capital letters, so I instructions say, "Please make sure the Caps Lock key is On before entering the information. They don ' t always doing that, however. Are there a way to turn the Caps Lock key in and off using a script?
-BW, Medford, or
For:
Hey, BW. We don ' t know of a way to turn the Caps Lock key on and off, but we did know a way to mimic the effect the have the Caps L Ock key on. After all, the whole point of the Caps Lock key was to turn everything your type into uppercase letters. For example, your might type this:
This is my sentence.
But Caps Lock'll make it appear on screens like this:
This is my sentence.
So can we achieve the same affect in a script? Simple: We just use the VBScript function UCase, which switches all the Lette RS in a string to their uppercase equivalent. For example, here's a simple two-line script this gathers information from a user and then uses the UCase function to Swit CH all the letters to uppercase when echoing the "value to" screen:
strmessage = InputBox ("Please enter your message:") WScript.Echo UCase (strmessage)
Incidentally, the above script doesn ' t actually change the case of the letters in the string strmessage; It just displays them in uppercase. If you are really want the letters converted to uppercase, try this script instead:
strmessage = UCase (InputBox ("Please enter your message:") WScript.Echo strmessage
Looks crazy, but it works.
For more information about the UCase function, the Thevbscript document on MSDN.
