I don't think Graffiti shift strokes generate keyDown events, if this
is what you were trying to send.

This is the right idea, or at least one that should work. :) Maybe you
need to set focus to the field in question first. Here's what I do in
one of my apps (in the event loop of the form where I want to set
capslock), and it works fine:
case frmOpenEvent:
...
FrmDrawForm(form) ;
...
FrmSetFocus(form,FrmGetObjectIndex(form,MyField)) ;
...
capsLock = true ;
GrfSetState(capsLock,false,false) ; /* set caps lock if entering hex */
handled = true ;
Note that I pass "false" for the second arg (NumLock). Also, I do
insert text into my field between the time I set focus and the time I
set the Graffiti state, but I don't think that matters. Lastly, don't
forget to include a Graffiti Shift State Indicator (tGSI) resource in
your form; I don't think it's required in order to set state, but it's
nice to have so that the use knows what's going on.
HTH,
John
