Are you using GLUT? If that's the case, you can use glutSpecialFunc to detect the F keys.

//example of a function you might pass to glutSpecialFunc
void specialKeyDown(int key, int x, int y){
	if (key == GLUT_KEY_F12){
		printf("F12 key detected");
		exit(0);
	}
}

Register the callback with glutSpecialFunc before entering the loop.

//[initialization stuff goes here]
glutSpecialFunc(specialKeyDown);
//[more initialization stuff]
glutMainLoop();

EDIT: Or, if you're not using GLUT and are handling windows messages yourself, you want to use Virtual Key Codes instead of ASCII key codes.

//In your windows procedure
case WM_KEYDOWN:
	if (wParam == VK_F12){
		printf("\nF12 Detected");
	}
break;
