[RESOLVED] Keyboard key press detection question.

[dot_binary]

How do I detect what individual key was pressed in my "PeekMessage" loop.

code:

...
if (PeekMessage(&msg, NULL, 0, 0, PM_REMOVE))
{
// handle or dispatch messages
if (msg.message == WM_QUIT){
bQuit = TRUE;
}else if (msg.message == WM_LBUTTONDOWN ){

}else if (msg.message == WM_RBUTTONDOWN ){

}else if (msg.message == WM_MBUTTONDOWN ){

}else if (msg.message == WM_KEYDOWN){
// detect pressed key ?
}else if (msg.message == WM_KEYUP){
// detect released key ?
}else{
TranslateMessage(&msg);
DispatchMessage(&msg);
}
...

You might want to read the documentation about all these

WM_LBUTTONDOWN
WM_RBUTTONDOWN
WM_MBUTTONDOWN
WM_KEYDOWN
WM_KEYUP

messages.

From the msdn documantation , WM_KEYDOWN has a parameter thet conatins a virtual key code , the problem is that I don't know how to read the paramiter to compare the contents with the key codes.

I tried like this:
...
}else if (msg.message == WM_KEYDOWN ){
switch(msg){
case WM_GETDLGCODE:{
if(wParam==VK_ESCAPE){
// code
}
}
}
...

but it doesn't work.
