Help needed, C++ beginner

[JamMan]

I am currently writing a program using Dev-C++. The program will require the following:
- Password on start-up
- Menu System
- Store vast ammounts of data to an external file
- Be able to print out to my Laser Jet
Have you got any C++ Source Code that I can have a look at that may be relevant to creating such a program.

If so can you post here / email me at [email protected]

source code for all the components of your program is available by searching this board for each component separately. Because file set up is not standard you will need to determine how you wish to store the data. In addition, you will learn more, better, and faster by trying your hand at the task. If you need assistance you are more likely to get what you are looking for by asking a specific question regarding a specific task/problem.

LOL,
Ur a newbie and expect to be able to do all of this before understanding the language...

Well, for the menu system a switch case would be the best
Password Encryption and stuph can be found at my Library Site:

Uhh.....
This is for the prompt right???
If you plan to do this on windows... BAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHA
That would be funny...
If so DONT USE MFC! IT SUX AND HAS GLITCHES!
I would use OpenGL, although its a graphics programming library I still use it when I want to program windows because its easier to comprehend and the handlers are FAR simplar...
for GREAT tutorials goto
NeHe
Dont expect much if your a beginner, im very good at OpenGL but I nearly forgot all of the basics!
SO I have to go back and learn them...


For the file exporting

ofstream a_file;
a_file.open("filedb.txt");
//.........
//......Code here
a_file.close()

For Printing:

ofstream printer;
printer.open("LPT1");
printer<<"Some text or string\f";  //U NEED THE \f, it means form 
                                                     // For the printer
printer.close();

Sorry if this isnt enough help, but this is all I could do besides right it for you...

Umm.... why would you use openGL to program for windows its a graphics programming library and has nothing to do with windows.
