    you could do something like this in your main switch statement:

    Code:
    case WM_KEYDOWN:
    	switch(wParam)
    	{
    	case VK_UP:
    		MessageBox(0,"UP ARROW PUSHED","UP",0);
    		
    		break;
    
    	case VK_DOWN:
    		MessageBox(0,"DOWN ARROW PUSHED","DOWN",0);
    		
    		break;
    
    	case VK_LEFT:
    		MessageBox(0,"LEFT ARROW PUSHED","LEFT",0);
    		
    		break;
    
    	case VK_RIGHT:
    		MessageBox(0,"RIGHT ARROW PUSHED","RIGHT",0);
    		
    		break;
    	}
    	return TRUE;
