How to turn SCROLL LOCK OFF, when Scroll Lock KEY not on keyboard?

 

[Gord Dibben]

Read the manual that came with your keyboard.

Or maybe you just missed seeing the ScrLk on the Pause/Break key?

Margarita,

You can use code like the following. Below are procedures for turning Scroll
Lock on, off, and toggling between on and off. It applies only to the
calling thread. It is not a system global method.

Public Declare Function GetKeyboardState Lib "user32" (pbKeyState As Byte)
As Long
Public Declare Function SetKeyboardState Lib "user32" (lppbKeyState As Byte)
As Long

Sub SetScrollLock()
Dim K(0 To 255) As Byte
GetKeyboardState K(0)
K(145) = 1
SetKeyboardState K(0)
End Sub

Sub ClearScrollLock()
Dim K(0 To 255) As Byte
GetKeyboardState K(0)
K(145) = 0
SetKeyboardState K(0)
End Sub

Sub ToggleScrollLock()
Dim K(0 To 255) As Byte
GetKeyboardState K(0)
If K(145) <> 0 Then
K(145) = 0
Else
K(145) = 1
End If
SetKeyboardState K(0)
End Sub

using Excel's consolidation. Not my own.
No one will answer. Would you look at it for me, please?

If you don't post the message ID I'm not inclined to go searching for your
original post.

To all the other answers: Key not on keyboard. I want to know how to turn
it On or Off from within the program's system.

Chip, somehow I think that you make more sense, but can you be a bit less
technical and more explicit?

Isn't dangerous to try and change the Reigester I.D. functions? (if it is
what this is)

Does "It is not a system global method." means that it will only work on
that one worksheet?

If that is the case, isn't too much work to be doing it for every worksheet?

Isn't there a much simpler answer, like for example a check mark in excel
options? he he... they should have thought about this one, either keyboard
makers or MSN programmers.

the scroll lock function can be triggered in the On-Screen Keyboard. This
application is normally found in Start -> Programs -> Accessories ->
Accessibility
Clicking on the 'scroll lock' in the On-Screen Keyboard should have the same
function as pressing a physical scroll lock key.

This is much easier.
