    Need help turning this if sequence into a switch case

    How do you turn this....
    Code:
    //macros to read the keyboard asynchronously
    #define KEY_DOWN(vk_code) ((GetAsyncKeyState(vk_code) & 0x8000) ? 1 : 0)
    #define KEY_UP(vk_code)((GetAsyncKeyState(vk_code) & 0x8000) ? 1 : 0)
    
    	if (KEY_DOWN(VK_RIGHT))
    	{
    		right = right + 1;
    		left = left + 1;
    	}
    	if (KEY_DOWN(VK_LEFT))
    	{	
    		right = right -1;
    		left = left - 1;
    	}
    	if (KEY_DOWN(VK_UP))
    	{
    		top = top - 1;
    		bottom = bottom - 1;
    	}
    	if (KEY_DOWN(VK_DOWN))
    	{
    		bottom = bottom + 1;
    		top = top + 1;
    	}
    into a switch statment....

    This was my attempt at it but I could not figure out the whole call to KEY_DOWN aspect
    Code:
    	switch (KEY_DOWN())
    	{
    	case VK_RIGHT;
    		right = right + 1;
    		left = left + 1;
    		break;
    	case VK_LEFT;
    		right = right -1;
    		left = left - 1;
    		break;
    	case VK_UP;
    		top = top - 1;
    		bottom = bottom - 1;
    		break;
    	case VK_DOWN;
    		bottom = bottom + 1;
    		top = top + 1;
    		break;
    	default:
    		break;
    	}

    this is just a wild guess, but have you tried finding out the return type of KEY_DOWN? in your if statements you have KEY_DOWN(VK_UP) and so on, they don't return those values do they?
    No No's:
    fflush (stdin); gets (); void main ();


    Goodies:
    Example of fgets (); The FAQ, C/C++ Reference


    My Gear:
    OS - Windows XP
    IDE - MS Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition


    ASCII stupid question, get a stupid ANSI
