Default VBA method to detect state of CAPSLOCK key?

Declare Function GetKeyboardState Lib "user32" _
(pbKeyState As Byte) As Long




Function CapsLock() As Boolean

Dim Res As Long
Dim KBState(0 To 255) As Byte

Res = GetKeyboardState(KBState(0))
CapsLock = KBState(&H14) And 1


End Function

Usage:

Sub ShowCapsLockState()
msgbox "Caps Lock on? " & capslock
End Sub

I'm not looking for code to turn CAPSLOCK on or off; I simply want to

detect
the state of the CAPSLOCK key.

I'm running Excel10 and 11.

TIA for any suggestions.
