Check status of "Scroll lock" light

I have made a sequence that presses keys, moves mouse, etc.
I would like to give an input, like “exit now” or “now start going slowly” or “now pause”, but of course with mouse and keypresses I could interact with the running sequence in an unwanted way.
I think that the scroll lock key, because it doesn’t have much effect, could be a great solution: for instance, if I want the sequence to run slower when the scroll lock is on, I would make an “if” on the condition of the scroll lock light, and a conditioned delay.
But, how do I read the status of “Scroll lock” light from UiPath?

take a look at this:

Access VB Namespaces, Classes and Methods that are not an integrated part of UiPath: Check if ScrollLock, CapsLock, or NumLock are in effect

I could not figure out how to check if the ScrollLock key was in effect without using screen scraping. I knew that there were several ways of doing this with VB code, but none of the necessary namespaces was available to me in UiPath Studio. Fortunately, it is possible to load namespaces, classes and methods in UiPath, which means that everything you can do in VB, you can essentially do in UiPath. In my case, I needed the method isKeyLocked() which is contained in the Control class within the F…
