I know its probably just me, but is there any reason that OnKeyDown can only process one key down at a time
I should add that I am used to using DirectInput for this kind of thing, but I see that it's being recommended not to use it any more, so I tried using OnKeyDown, but when I hold down 2 keys at once, only one gets processed even though my code looks like:
if (e.KeyCode = Keys.W) moveforward();
if (e.KeyCode = Keys.A) moveleft();
Forms.Keys vs DirectInput

This may be true, and I guess I should stop fussing over trying to do it "properly" and go back to using DInput, but I'd certainly like David Weller to expand upon his comments in this thread..

Ok I see the solution is probably to use GetAsyncKeyState (the method I used to use back in the days of DirectX 2..)
This leaves me wondering how to handle joystick and other device input if DirectInput is being phased out

Don't think DirectInput is phased out ... i still use it. If they phase it out older games using directinput would not work anymore.
