I've never used GsiSetShiftState(), but maybe GrfSetState() will do
what you want?
GrfSetState
Purpose Set the current shift state of Graffiti.
Prototype Err GrfSetState( Boolean capsLock,
Boolean numLock,
Boolean upperShift)
Parameters capsLock Set to TRUE to turn on caps lock.
numLock Set to TRUE to turn on num lock.
upperShift Set to TRUE to put into upper shift.
Result Always returns 0.
As the name suggests, GrfSetState() sets the shift state of the
underlying Graffiti engine, w/ the side effect of also changing the
state of the Graffiti shift indicator (note that w/ GsiSetShiftState,
you can turn off the shift indicator, but characters written in
Graffiti will still be shifted; at least this is how I read the docs).
To turn off the shift indicator (by which I'm assuming you mean turn
off the caps lock, not just hide the indicator), simply pass FALSE for
capsLock.
BTW, anyone know what numLock is for??
