I think Win32 Messages are slow for games, also you can only use one key at a time. (correct me if I am wrong).
edit:
Im not sure about WM_INPUT though.

You can still use Win32 messages for the message pump, and render the controls how you wish. It'd probably be easier to use window messages for handling text input, since they deal with switching to system menus, upper/lowercase letters, etc.
HI,Steve,I suppose that's because I think the standard Win32 's appearence is too common,and it seems we dont have much control of the appearence of them,like customizing them.I want to use DirectDraw to make the UI appearence more impressive.
Thanks Steve, I know your meaning more clearly. Win32 message looks powerful, I just want to know whether simply using DirectInput could have that done.
