Yes, there is a way.  The WM_KEYDOWN, WM_KEYUP, WM_CHAR messages have
additional information beyond the virtual key code (WM_KEYXXX) and
character value (WM_CHAR).  The lParam contains this additional
information.  You are interested in the "extended key" bit which will
be set for the keypad but clear for the normal enter key.  See the
documentation for more information including the exact position of
this bit within the lParam.
