Is there any good way to determine if any letter key has been pressed (a,b,c + 0-9 and so on). And skip any ignore any other keys like VK_UP etc.

Use WM_CHAR and check wParam to be one of your wanted characters.

I'd recommend Endurion's method, but you can also use GetAsyncKeyState

Example (untested):

bool IsKeyDown(char ch){   return !!(GetAsyncKeyState(ch)&0x8000);}
