Googling turned up this thread, in which the maintainer of SFML said that there is no way to check Caps Lock status in SFML, and there probably won't ever be a way. What is it you are trying to do?
In SFML capslock applies the "shift" modifier; I don't think you can poll the key directly.
However, if your intent is to create formatted text, you could use sf::Event::TextEvent which handles that for you.
Or, when you get sf::Event::KeyEvent, it has a bool shift member variable which can tell you if you need to capitalize the character or not (I think this takes capslock into account).

Using sf::Event::KeyEvent i get something like "uncatched trown error" at visual studio, At .exe file my program crashes
I googled it and people had same problem, so that's out of option.
Am just doing this
sf::Keyboard::isKeyPressed(sf::Keyboard::LShift) == true
It does not handle Caps lock but, sfml does not handle it as it seems.
For windows you can use this to get the state of caps lock. int i = GetKeyState(0x14); 0 is off. Dont forget to include the windows.h header file.
wicked's example should suffice, and you could even add this to one of the SFML files to handle the event. I do believe they include the windows.h file.
