WM_IME_KEYDOWN not capturing arrow keys

Question

I am trying to capture the arrow keys when using IME, however the WM_IME_KEYDOWN doesn't seem to capture the arrows. I tried with WM_IME_COMPOSITION which do happen when pressing an arrow but I could not see which arrow was pressed.

protected override void WndProc(ref Message m){
    if (m.Msg == WM_IME_KEYDOWN) {
        DoStuff();
    }
}

Know how?

You can use low level keyboard hook instead.
