Hi,
Shift and cap key are a kind of "control keys" and they are not in the ASCII
chart, I believe. You won't be able to get a keydownevent for them as they
aren't sent to the target because there's no point for the field to receive
a shift state.

But you should be able to get the cap/shift states by calling the graffiti
function GrfGetState for grfTempShiftUpper, if the key from the keyboard
changes the graffiti shift state. You might even need to manupulate some of
the states if you want to turn off a shift in your app.
