WinAPI: How to get the caps lock state?

Question

How can get whether Caps Lock is on or off? I tried to search it but all I\'m finding is how to toggle or turn it on/off which is exactly opposite of what I\'m looking for.<

I found this link and the code snippet below that might help you

if ((GetKeyState(VK_CAPITAL) & 0x0001)!=0)
  AfxMessageBox("Caps Lock ON!");
else
  AfxMessageBox("Caps Lock OFF!");
