Place this code in your message loop:

case WM_CHAR:
{	char	msg[1024];
	wsprintf( msg, "chCharCode = 0x%X\r\nlKeyData = 0x%x\r\n", 
				wParam, lParam );
	MessageBox( hWnd, msg, "WM_CHAR", MB_OK|MB_TOPMOST );
	return 1; /* let windows process it too */
}

For Ctrl-X ........
nVirtKey = 0x18
lKeyData = 0x2d0001

For Ctrl-A......
nVirtKey = 0x1
lKeyData = 0x1e0001

For Ctrl-S......
nVirtKey = 0x13
lKeyData = 0x1f0001
