You have to call TranslateMessage() and DispatchMessage() too after
calling PeekMessage() if you get a nonzero result from PeekMessage().
Use PM_REMOVE mode on PeekMessage(). I am using this sequence
successfully.

if ( PeekMessage(&msg, NULL, 0, 0, PM_REMOVE) )
{
  TranslateMessage(&msg);
  DispatchMessage(&msg);
}

If you have enough time , you can replace the if by a while. Add
TranslateAccelerator() as needed like in the main message loop.
