First do this:
#define DOWN(key) (GetAsyncKeyState(key) & 0x8000)
Then just check all of the keys
if(DOWN('E') && DOWN('G') && DOWN('S') && DOWN(VK_CONTROL))
{
// do stuff
}
You should know that GetAsyncKeyState() doesn't work sometimes when you press multiple keys simultaneously. If it doesn't end up working well enough this way, try using DirectInput. It would take more work, but it wouldn't have this problem, and it isn't really all that difficult (DInput is the simplest part of DirectX).
