APPLIES TO

SYMPTOMS
When you run a program that calls the Keybd_event() function and does
Keydown and Keyup for Vk_Numlock, the Num Lock key on keyboard is not
turned
on.
CAUSE
This function works on Microsoft Windows NT-based computers, but not
Microsoft Windows 9x-based computers. Windows 9x does not handle the
Num Lock key correctly using this function. However the Caps Lock works
without any problem.
STATUS
This behavior is by design.
