If you go into the Class Wizard under the message maps tab you can select WM_KEYDOWN or WM_KEYUP from the messages section. Once selected add a function to the event and edit the code in the function. The function takes in a parmeter called nChar. convert nChar to a regualr character by using something like char myChar; myChar = char(nChar); then to find what key was pressed you can do simple comparisons like if (myChar =='A') { } Michael Shuster Good Judgement comes from experience; Experience comes from bad judgement.

tracking WM_KEYDOWN should do it. There's much information about it on MSDN.
