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.
