    Question Password generator

    I would like to make myself a little simple app with 2 buttons only in c++. I know this would be a windows app but i want it in c++. I think I know how to make it for dos but for windows might be tricky part. Im pretty new to c++ and would like someone to guide me on good path for this one.

    This is what I want. Simple app that generates a password of 8 char inluding letters and numbers. must start with a letter. all small caps. I know how to do it with numbers with the rand command but its the letters part hehe. another thing is i wouldnt know how to mix them. meaning for it to generate a letter or number.

    2 butons. 1 to generate and the other to copy to clipboard. pretty simple app but the hard part for me is to include letters. if it was a number pasword only then i would only have to figure out the part of importing that into a windows kinda app instead of dos.

    Anyone?

    By the way this is for me to use at work not a school project or homework hehe. just to make this clear. im learning c++ for my pleasure and to make it maybe in a few years my living.

    Im not asking that someone makes me the app, I just want to make this my fiorst official app I would do and would like help to get it started if possible.

    thanks
