OK Maybe the problem is something else.... I use VK_OEM_PERIOD for '.' But I get this compilation error:
error C2065: 'VK_OEM_PERIOD' : undeclared identifier
Im I missing out a header file or something?

I'm prettu sure the virtual keycode for everything in the ascii set is the same as the ascii code. Try '.'

No they're not the same as the ascii characters. But they're just VK_PERIOD, VK_SLASH, and VK_BACKSLASH. The values are 0x34, 0x35, and 0x2B, respectively.
Oh wait, those are the keys for DirectInput, but I'm pretty sure they're the same as the VK codes.

From my VC7.0 docs (2k2 version) it refers to all of the DirectX virtual key codes as being prepended with the characters 'DIK_' rather than 'VK_' like the win32 ones.
The VK codes for period only seems to be available as an oem key code as follows-> (excerpt from msdn docs)
SYMBOL: VK_OEM_PERIOD
HEXCODE: BE
Keyboard equiv: Windows 2000/XP: For any country/region, the '.' key
I'm not sure what this means for non 2K or XP users but you can always try.
ps. sometimes a definition is required for some macros/contants, i'm not sure what this would be (couldn't find anything that said a #define would be required) but you can always just have a peek at the header file and find out for yourself if nessesary.

hmm...my browser just doesn't want to leave me logged in today it seems:P (my post above that is)
edit: ...oops...didn't read one of your posts well enough, VK_OEM_PERIOD is the correct key code, the #include you'll need is windows.h which will then include winuser.h, don't inlude winuser.h directly however!
Enjoy!
