Can anyone tell me how I can disable the NumLock key within my C++
app?  By the way, please don't lecture me on why I shouldn't do this.
This is a turnkey system with a laptop style keyboard.  When NumLock
is active, some of the letter keys become number keys.  Users have
unknowingly pressed NumLock and become really confused when the
letter keys output numbers instead of letters.

It is a PM app.  I am catching the characters myself in the WM_CHAR
message.  I suppose I can look at the scan code and change the char
value myself if it's one of those overloaded keys?

Thanks for any help.
