Thread: WM_CHAR problems

I am trying to see what key the user pressed by checking WM_CHAR method. This works, but I cant check for VK_UP,LEFT,RIGHT,DOWN, HOME, etc. I can get the return key and the backspace key, but not some keys. What is going on?

PHP Code:

        switch (TCHAR(wParam))
        {
        case VK_BACK:
            if (CEnv.strinp.length()>0)
                CEnv.strinp.erase(CEnv.strinp.end()-1);
            break;
        case VK_TAB:
            break;

        case VK_UP:
            //move the current cmd up one history item.
            CEnv.strinp = "hiuahsda";//CEnv.cmdHistory.front().strCmd ;
            break;

        case VK_DOWN:
            CEnv.strinp = "hiuahsda";//CEnv.cmdHistory.front().strCmd ;
            break;
default:
    CEnv.strinp+=(TCHAR)wParam;
    break;
} 


Noone knows?

Bumping your threads, (posting to move your own threads up the list), is against the rules, and may result in your thread being deleted.

Doing so after just 90 minutes is impatience bordering on rudeness.

Rules.

Is this code in a dialog? For an edit box?

Sorry for bumping.

It is not for an edit box, I am making a console for my engine. I just don't get the VK_UP and VK_DOWN vkeys. While I get all other keys, it is weird not to get those.
