How do I find out if Caps Lock is on when a document is opened? It's
easy if the key is pressed when the document has been opened but how
do I check if the Caps Lock key has already been set on before the
document is opened and even before the application is loaded?

GetKeyState(VK_CAPITAL) should do what you want. Heres more:

That's what I am doing now in InitDocument. I would expect the most
significant bit to be set when the Caps Lock is on but
GetKeyState(VK_CAPITAL) always returns zero. When the document is open
the same code in OnKeyDown works OK but I need to know the state of
the Caps Key before the document is opened.
