    How do I capture the up-, down-, left- and right arrowkeys in c++?

    I'd like to use the arrow-keys in my program, but I don't know how to access them. Do they have some sort of ascii-code of corresponding, cause they must be accessible through c++, aren't they?

    Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance,

    One solution is ::GetKeyState(VK_UP);
