How to get a notice when a up arrow key is pressed in C language

Question

Hi, I like to move a picture on the screen by clicking up, down, right, left arrow on the key board. Is there a way to get a notice in my software when “up arrow key” in keyboard is pressed, as an example. I tried bres=IsInputKey(0); How do I find out what key number is “up-arrow” Is this a right approach, I wonder. I use C, and C++ Languages on the platform of Windows10 and Visual studio 2017 Thank you in advance ChangChiTheGraphics

The answer there is correct.

You still have not said what type of project it is but since you say C (not C++) the implication is that it is a console program. See Reading Input Buffer Events - Windows Console. Try the sample program. There is much to learn but you can develop a relatively sophisticated text-mode UI Using the Console. That sample uses the KeyEventProc. In that when the arrow-up key is pressed ker.dwControlKeyState will be ENHANCED_KEY and ker.uChar.AsciiChar will be VK_UP.
