Greetings,
I have several applications that require password entry, and I like
to present an icon and/or text reminder if the CAPS LOCK key is down
when the user is entering the password. Apple does this, and I think
it's a good idea.
However, on Mac OS X, there is a problem with Keyboard.AsyncKeyDown,
which makes it fail to update when an EditField has the focus, but
ONLY IF that EditField has its "Password" property set to true. This
probably has something to do with the enabling of secure input on Mac
OS X.
So, the standard trick of polling for CAPS LOCK via a timer does not
work, when a password EditField has the focus.
I encourage folks to sign on to...

...where there are a couple of (mediocre) workarounds listed, as well
as a sample project.
