# Script type: Windows 
# Script id: notepad.exe 

Dialog 
   Class "Notepad" 
   Title "Untitled - Notepad" 
EndDialog 

# -------------------------------------------------------
# Read from the registry to see which keyboard is active
# -------------------------------------------------------

GetReg "HKCU\Keyboard Layout\Preload\1" ?reg

# ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Verify registry value has been read. Uncomment for troubleshooting
# ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Type ?reg
# Type \n 

# ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# If AZERY keyboard is active, toggle Caps Lock with Type \|20
# Edit for value corresponding to the keyboard. In this example, 813 = Belgian Dutch Keyboard.

If ?reg EQ 00000813 
  type \|20
