Check out the family of keyboard input functions. What you need will depend on whether or not you want to check specific keys, any key presses, etc...

LRESULT CALLBACK WindowProc
(HWND hwnd, UINT message, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)
{

//window stuff such as buttons

switch (message)
{
case: WM_KEYDOWN
// do something

case: WM_KEYUP
// do something 

}


return DefWindowProc (hwnd,message,wParam,lParam);
}

You could use GetAsyncKeyState(), but this is not always the best solution. If you are using the windows API, a good method would be to have a global array of virtual keys, for example.

bool keys[256];

Then when you detect a key press you can set the correct state of the key that is pressed, for example.

switch (message)
{
    case: WM_KEYDOWN
        keys[wParam] = true; // wParam holds the key pressed/released
        break;
 
    case: WM_KEYUP
        keys[wParam] = false;
        break;	 
}

Then you can simply check for a key press like so.

if (keys[keyCode]) 
{
    // do something
    keys[keyCode] = false; // prevent from repeating the detection of the key 
}
