How do I store key-strokes?

Question

I have an empty win32 project.

CASE WM_CHAR:

under this case I need to store each keystroke in an array, then output it to the screen using

TextOut();

I figured it's going to be something like this:

char store[LARGE_NUMBER];

then under the case wm_char header I store the character in store then use a counter to move along the array for each key which is pressed. I just don't know how to record a specific key on the keyboard, not just any key - which calls the wm_char case.

Thanks

The wParam parameter holds the character code of the key that was pressed. Take a look at the documentation . lParam holds further information about the key press (was it a special key, was the key held down etc.).
