I am using C++ (with the Visual C++ compiler) on Windows XP

What langauge ARE you using?

Did you miss that or are you making a point *I'm* missing?

O.o Totally.

If you're using windows callbacks (windowed program) you can trap WM_CHAR
WM_KEYDOWN WM_KEYUP

If you would rather do it interactively, you can use _kbhit() and _getch()

If you would rather use iostream you can use std::cin >> char

If you would rather use DirectX, look at DirectInput
