Simulate piano pressed keys

Dukats (5)
I need to simulate pressed piano keys with my keyboard, but I can't get it to work. I can get sounds to play when I create the window(execute my code), but not when I press any keys. These sounds play automatically if I put them before the switch(message). Nothing happens when I press the keys, have I missed something obvious?
