WM_KEYDOWN when the key is depressed, WM_KEYUP when it is released.
Hope this helps!

So, if when a key is pressed, a WM_KEYDOWN message is entered into the message que, how do you test for different keys?
GetKeyState() or something.
From MSDN
WM_KEYDOWN
nVirtKey = (int) wParam; // virtual-key code
lKeyData = lParam; // key data
nVirtKey
Specifies a virtual key. If the desired virtual key is a letter or digit (A through Z, a through z, or 0 through 9), nVirtKey must be set to the ASCII value of that character. For other keys, it must be a virtual-key code.
ie VK_ESCAPE

i could find the virtual key codes for everything on the keyboard except numbers and letters. how do i find the codes for those?
I'd assume VK_G for g, VK_4 for 4.
Probably not listed because they're too easy to guess :P
